Baždarević: "We had our share of problems; some of the players are injured, some are suspended, and there are those who are out of shape because they don't play in their clubs. Everyone thinks it will be easy, but we have to act professionally and seriously prepare for an important game. Gibraltar is a new team that hasn't made any significant results, however we've watched their games and we have the right information about the way they play.
We'll try not to change our system, we could try with 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 formation. We have enough good players to do this job properly. Those who are standard players in their respective clubs this season are doing great, some of them are in slightly worse shape, but I'm happy that we have younger players at our disposal, and it's up to them to show their skills. As for the friendly match with Albania, we're going to try out some other combinations that could prove useful in the future."
