Assistant coach in the BH junior team, Vedin Musić, conveys impressions from the preparations:

“After a long time, we had the opportunity to gather and do mini preparations with two generations of players. We saw the condition of the guys after the work stoppage that caught us all. A break could be felt, but we can say that the national team is at a satisfactory level. It is important that we finally get together and did these training sessions.”

Musić also added:

“There is quality among these guys. With the players from domestic clubs that we have now invited, and with the national team players from abroad, we can create a respectable team that will be ready to make good results in the qualifications.”

National team player Ivan Bašić says that the players are in good shape:

“We have done these preparations well. It is good for us that we are finally together and that we have started preparing for the qualifications. It was hard to keep fit during the break; everything is different when you are with the team. However, it seems that we are all in good shape and I believe that the break will not be felt on us when it comes to matches.”

His teammate Salih Husić thinks similarly:

“First of all, I am happy to be at a gathering with my teammates from the national team again. Although we trained during the break, there is a difference in working individually and as a team. Regardless, we are in good shape. In addition, we have a quality team and I hope that we will show that in the qualifications.”

The U-19 national team players will finish their preparations tomorrow, when anthropological tests will be done.
