In October, the senior football team of Bosnia and Herzegovina will play League of Nations matches against the selections of Germany and Hungary in Zenica. The players will have a tough job trying to score points against renowned opponents.
Barbarez announced the list of players he is counting on for these matches, and the director of the BiH national team, Emir Spahić, said at today’s press conference that there are several new players on Barbarez’s list, and that the place in BiH. the team is won by those who fight for it with work, order, discipline, respect and love.
“Those who are not there, they are not there for a reason. They are not excluded from future gatherings, but what I have stated are the measures that should be respected. We will ask the players for that in the future as well, because that is the only way to return the national team to where it belongs,” Spahić said and added that the decision of the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina has ended the story of Ahmedhodžić and that the doors of the national team are definitely closed to him.
Barbarez pointed out that the coaching staff will no longer tolerate certain ways of behavior on the field, but also off the field, and that the entire coaching staff was unanimously not satisfied with the performances of Dennis Hadžikadunić, which is why that player is no longer on the list of the BiH national team.
The selector is satisfied with the form of the players he called up and believes that they will be even stronger and more ready in October and November.
“We believe that we have invited players who are currently the best that the national team can have. The players we didn’t invite are not under any measures. It offends me when someone says it’s time to beat someone. We need to take a realistic look at our situation, where we are and where our opponents are. We will do our best in every match, no matter who the opponent is, but it is not realistic to promise victories,” said Barbarez.
He reminded that the national team is in the phase of finding the team and that the coaching staff has the task of assembling the team and bringing those players to a certain level, so that they start achieving results after some time.
Spahić mentioned that he was very satisfied with the sacrifice the players showed in Hungary in the last match of the League of Nations, where they won a point, and that after that game the reaction of the players showed how much they care about the national jersey.
“I hope we will continue to go in that direction. If we can’t match the biggest national teams with quality, we hope we can match them with fight and will on the field. This is the only way to stop the evident decline of our national team,” concluded the director of the BiH national team, Fena writes.
