Kosovo's football representative is two matches away to secure a ticket to “2020”. The first obstacle is Thursday (now, 20:45) in Skopje against Northern Macedonia, within the semi-final of the pleozyphus for “Eur0 2020”. In fact, this is estimated even the most important match for Kosovo since [...]

“We are close to a moment when even we can touch the dream, but we have some problems, we are not in the best situation, but Kosovo as a football team has shown that it has to cope with these situations, turning them into its own. We talked about a match like this two years ago, not as a target, but as a potential match. Now we can touch the dream, but we're not in the best situation, but we're going to have to take these situations hard to get back in our favor. I am optimistic and ready to make the dream come true. Time is running out, the game is near, so it will be played tomorrow, and we are nearly”, Callandes said at the media conference held in Skopje.

After the conference, Kosovo in Skopje also held the last exercise, which was open only the first 15 minutes for the media. However, the first 20 minutes of this training has not developed them in the light of reflection, against sunset. Later it was learned that this occurred due to technical problems at the “Tose Proeski” stadium. Challandes has added that Kosovo will feel the difficulties caused by the coronary. But he has insisted that now is the time to think, not of difficulties, but of crossing the first obstacle to making the dream come true.

As a coach, you're a professional, and if you see any difficulties, then you have to change the job with responsibility, I know what I'm facing, I see that we can, see that we can achieve something as a team, the time has come, we can't wait any longer to do what we want”, he stressed.

The Swiss coach has insisted that the shortages he will have for the most important match will be huge. But he expects other football players who will have the chance to play it, to give it their best.

I want to play with the viewer, even the opposing team. This is the situation and I have to admit it. It's normal to have a full team, but that's the situation and we have to adjust and walk before”, Callandes declared.
