Stanislav Lobotka and Ondrej Duda will be assisting the three-time best footballer in the Slovak Republic. This was confirmed at the pre-match official press conference by national team coach Štefan Tarkovič, who believes that his players will manage the Friday duel in Oslo (18.00 CET) with the results. “First of all, I will say that I am sorry that there cannot be four players with health problems. They would definitely help us and I believe that they will be available to us in the League of Nations. The positive thing is that we have new players who can get a chance,” he said. When asked by the 49-year-old coach and when asked if guests can still be a home-matched opponent, he said: “We are competitive. There are players who have enough experience from tough matches. Everyone will be ready, it’s a challenge for everyone. Definitely will have the parameters of a quality international match. I would like us to show some progress as well. ” The health of the staff, who flew from Bratislava to Oslo on Thursday morning, is good: “There are small things there, but they should not affect the players’ ability to play.” Even after the announcement of the nomination in the absence of several experienced supports, it was clear that there is a wide space for testing new players. Tarkovich doubted it on Thursday evening: “Both matches will be affected by the new players we want to see. We have things planned, but of course the reality may be different. I’m glad we can finally give space to the new players who come here and they deserve it. We also want to build the team towards the ME 2024 qualification. ” The Norwegians are exactly at the level of the Slovak Republic in the FIFA ranking, Tarkovič has studied them. “Norwegians are organized and play power football. They have thoughtful and automated pressing. In defense they push the opponent to prevent him from the combination, we prepared for it in training as well. I am convinced that we can do it. The path to success leads through repressing and transition to I believe we will also move our attack game towards higher quality. ” In the absence of Marek Hamšík or Juraj Kuck, Inter Milan’s tracker will have a captain’s armband on his sleeve. “I can reveal that the captain for the double match will be Milan Škiniar and the representatives will be Stano Lobotka with Ondrej Dud.” Škriniar also sat in front of the cameras, according to whom there is a great game in the cabin again. “The team works well, the game has always been great. It’s the same now, on and off the pitch. Nothing extremely has changed, although there aren’t many older players.” According to the 27-year-old quarterback, the recipe for the Norwegians will be a particularly careful defense: “We had an opponent’s analysis, the coaches showed us how they present themselves. According to the local media, the gunner Erling Braut Haaland from Borussia Dortmund should also take part in the domestic offensive from the beginning. That can move us forward. I haven’t played against him yet. He is one of the best strikers in the world, we are looking forward to it, “added Škriniar. Author: © Zoznam Source: TASR
