On Saturday in Zenica, the football team of Bosnia and Herzegovina welcomes Romania in the penultimate match of the World Cup qualifiers.
Bosnia and Herzegovina currently occupies second place in the group and in case of victories in the upcoming two games, tomorrow against Romania and on Tuesday against Austria in Vienna, he can win first place and direct placement. However, there is a possibility of another scenario, i.e. a draw or defeat, which could leave Bosnia and Herzegovina without the opportunity to qualify for the World Cup.
The BiH national team is aware pressure and difficulty of the taskbut they believe they can achieve the goal. Captain Edin Dzeko he said that BiH has a negative experience when it comes to situations like this, but that the players are aware of the importance of these meetings and that he hopes that they will respond in the best way.
The boys are aware of what this game can do mean for their careers because they are mostly younger players who have yet to make their careers. The World Cup is important for a young player, after all we all sold ourselves through the national team. We have trained well and we are ready. You have to take some responsibility and enter the game with only one goal, said Dzeko at the press conference.
When it comes to his poor playing time in Fiorentina lately, he points out that he would like to play more and that he is in a better rhythm.
I think that a player can have whatever quality he wants, but if he is not ready, he can hardly show it on the field. It would certainly be better if I played all the time and was in that rhythm, but these two games are something special because despite the fact that I haven’t played much, I know what awaits us and I know what I can give, pointed out the captain of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
For the national team, he adds, every game is special, but the upcoming two are perhaps even more important and could determine his future national team career.
We know what a win, a draw or a loss brings us. I think everyone should have every game like that. Each is important in its own waybut we only think about this tomorrow, he stressed.
For Romania, he said that they have a good and young team and an experienced coach, but he hopes for the victory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Menu Sergej Barbarez he pointed out that no feels the pressure because of the importance of the next matches and that he is convinced that his players can answer the task.
We know the math, but we know what it is our goal and our plan. It will be the same after these two games. It is a privilege to have pressure and that is something that is normal in football. Anyone who can’t deal with that shouldn’t struggle with this job. We are readyso far we have done everything properly, especially yesterday when we had two training sessions. We have a plan, we play at home which is the most important thing and we will try to win that game, Barbarez said.
