Timur Kapadze: "We have crucial matches ahead. We are soldiers. The mission is clear, and we must accomplish it."

"First and foremost, we wish Srcko Katanec good health. We all wanted him to complete the work he started. However, health always comes first.

The national team is not foreign to me. I have played for it, served as the head coach, and been an assistant coach. We are soldiers. We have been given a task, and we must accomplish it.

We have important matches ahead. I believe everything will be fine. We will quickly establish a rapport with the coaching staff and players. This camp will be productive, as there are new footballers in the team. The key is for all players to arrive in good shape for the crucial matches in March. Their strength and skill will help us secure a spot in the World Cup. We all share one dream. We ask the people to support us in their prayers," says Kapadze.

Let us remind you that Timur Kapadze has taken the place of Srcko Katanec, who left the head coach position due to health reasons. The first match under the new coach will be held on January 27 in a friendly against the national team of Jordan.
