Two training sessions are behind the cadet national team players who gathered in Zenica yesterday.
The assistant coach in the technical staff of our U-17 team, Srđan Marjanović, emphasizes his satisfaction that the cadets are together again after March:
“The most important thing is that we have finally started working and that we have the opportunity to see the condition of the players from domestic clubs, and to select them in the best way. When we join them the national team players from abroad, I believe that we will have a quality team. We will use this time to do as many training sessions as possible, to test the players and continue to build a positive atmosphere in the team.”
Marjanović points out that the players are ready to prepare in the best way:
“Players come from good clubs, where they work well, and they come to these preparations in some optimal shape, regardless of the break they had. Of course, by the end of the preparations, we will have a clearer picture of all the invited players.”
National team player Jahija Bajrić is also looking forward to the gathering:
“After everything that has happened lately, not only in our country but also in the world, we are all happy to have the opportunity to return to normal work again. It is nice to be on the green field again and in the preparations with friends from the national team. There was always a good atmosphere between us, so we are happy to be together again. These preparations will mean a lot to us, because national team’s gatherings always somehow additionally motivate and give some new energy.”
Defender Marko Radić says that the players will be maximally ready for the official matches:
“I came to these preparations in good shape and I am glad that we are all together again. It can be seen that we all tried during the break to leave as little trace as possible on our physical fitness. Of course, some changes will be felt, but it is certain that we will be the most prepared when it comes to competitive matches. That’s why gatherings like this come in handy.”
