Nikolov: We will try to give back to the Spaniards for the defeat at Eurobasket 2011
The playmaker of the Macedonian senior national team, Kristijan Nikolov in the announcement for tomorrow's match seeks support from the audience for a positive result.
- We do not feel any pressure, that is the most important thing for us. We are playing against Spain. We will do our best to reach a positive result for us. Our next match is with Ukraine, then Georgia. We see the chances there and I hope we will record positive results. The national team is a challenge for each of us, and the return of Damjan Stojanovski is a big plus.
All of us who are here will strive to have good results and bring success. I hope that the audience will come and support us. And we, if we are given any chance, will try to give them back for that defeat in the semifinals of the European Championship ten years ago - says Nikolov.
On Friday night at 19.30 pm, Spain will be a guest in Skopje, enough for another call to the audience for the Sports Center "Jane Sandanski" - Skopje to be filled with the maximum allowed capacity.
This is the team selected by the coach Dragan Bajic with whom we will start the qualifications for the World Cup 2023:
Bojan Krstevski, Kristijan Nikolov, Damjan Robev, Adem Mekic, Damjan Stojanovski, Boban Stajic, Jacob Wiley, Teodor Simic, Viktor Efremovski, Andrej Maslinko, Kiril Nikolovski, Andrej Magdevski.
