Overview
North Macedonia’s journey to the European championship finals is an experience in itself. But Pandev and Co would want to look at the road that is ahead.
They will bank on their skipper’s experience for leadership and goals.
The Lions look to enjoy their maiden finals as it helps relieve the pressure of being in a Euro tournament for the 1st time.
As a first timer, it is hard to judge their player’s credentials but we expect North Macedonia to make this a tournament to remember.
Their main aim is to continue to achieve the plaudits this summer and not remain a foot-note for other teams to trample. For a small nation, this is a huge achievement.
