The North Macedonia national football team is completing its second day of preparations for the final two matches of the current Nations League (Division B), when it will face Scotland away and then Slovenia at home.
By schedule, the team travels to Scotland on Friday and returns to host Slovenia in Skopje three days later. The coaching staff has made clear that the immediate priority in this mini-window is straightforward: to finally find the net in this campaign and, with a goal, try to secure a positive result or points.
Attack reshuffle — a new option up front
To improve the forward line the squad list contains at least one change. Bojan Miovski, who was the last Macedonian player to score in that heavy defeat against Wales, is not in the group. In his place the staff have called up Marko Gjorgjievski, currently a player for Shkendija.
The former youth international receives his first invitation to the senior team. As is customary on the last training session before departure, Gjorgjievski got a warm welcome from his new teammates.
Fans and staff alike hope that Gjorgjievski can be the one to "break the ice" and finally hit the opponent's net in the national shirt. Whether he will prove to be the "light at the end of the tunnel" for the team's scoring troubles will be answered on Friday.
