The match starts at 1:00 p.m. and admission is free. At the same time, on Saturday, March 7, “Dragons” will play against Liechtenstein, which, as BiH pointed out today at the press conference. coach Selver Hodžić, is performing in the qualifiers for the first time.
– There are new qualifications, new energy, a lot of new, younger players. We rejuvenated the team. We worked a lot on physics, tactics, on the mental segment… The girls are ready and did everything we asked of them, so that tomorrow they will be ready from the first minute to give their all. Estonia is a solid team, but I think we have to position ourselves and impose our game from the first minute – said Hodžić.
They must, he underlined, apply their principles, but also consider that they are the favorites of this group, in which Lithuania also plays.
Due to injury, Andrea Čule from Emina Mostar missed these preparations, instead of whom Đula Velagić from SFK 2000 Sarajevo joined, but there are 23 players available, who are ready to play.
A new player is also the goalkeeper Somea Polozen, who changed her sports citizenship and, instead of Sweden, decided to continue her career for BiH.
– A young and modern goalkeeper has been hired, but she needs to get into our system, the way we play, but I’m sure that with her, we’ve got someone for the next 10 years in that position, Hodžić believes.
Young Glorija Slišković points out that she is looking forward to the new gathering, as part of which they are expecting two important matches.
– The team is ready. We have been working well these days. We play both games at home, which is, of course, a positive thing. It’s different when you play away games and when you play home games at home. I am happy and glad to be here again, with the team. We hope for victories – said Slišković, who believes that she will justify the role of favorite in both matches.
The more experienced Marija Aleksić also points out that they are ready, but that they have been focusing on Estonia during their preparations for the past few days.
– It’s our first game. We had nice days, very good training sessions and I think we are fully ready. Perhaps the best atmosphere and energy in the team. All 23 players are ready for the match – said Aleksić.
