Recently, a change of head coach took place in the Slovakian national team - Pavel Gapal was appointed instead of Jan Kozak.
"I want to make radical changes to the coaching staff and surround myself with people I trust. I have already talked with the youth team coach Adrian Gulay, as well as with Stoch. In my opinion, there will not be many changes in the composition.. Especially when it comes to experienced players, "said Gapal.
"I would like to see in my national team many guys with whom I worked in the youth national team of Slovakia. True, here is Martin Hrien out of sight. Adam Zrelyak has little game practice.. But other players from the Slovak junior team, such as Lobotka, Skrignar and Bero, will definitely be invited to the national team. ".
"Every coach wants his team to play attacking football, win, score lots of balls. I have such a desire, but I have to proceed from the fact that there is. By the selection of players. Now I see that the national team has a problem with driving forwards ".
"I am surprised by the behavior of seven footballers who walked after a defeat in a nightclub. In the youth team of Slovakia, I had no such problems. I hope we will agree with the players on the rules of conduct and such problems will no longer arise ".
"When we play with the Czech Republic, I will lead the Slovak national team and will do everything to win. Looking forward to this match. But the fight with Ukraine is also important.. In the case of two wins, we have a chance to finish second in the group stage of the League of Nations ".
"I will receive 15,000 euros per month. Plus there is an agreement on a special premium of 200,000 euros for reaching the final of the European Championship ".
The match Slovakia - Ukraine will be held on November 16 in Trnava at the stadium named after Anton Malatinsky, which seats 18,448 spectators. Start - at 21. 45.
