The first day in Skopje was an ordinary away match for European cups. Arrival, lunch, rest, theory, training session.
 
You don't need transport to get to the stadium. You just need to cross the road and you are on the biggest and the only one stadium in Macedonia, where the local teams hold European cups. The traditional press conference fell through. The reason is simple – just one journalist and one photographer came to see FC Sheriff. The reason is connected with the ethnic origin of the team from Tetovo. But we won’t go into this matter. It is not our concern.

Goran Sablic quickly answered two questions. The essence of the speech of our club’s head coach was reduced to the following: “We have carefully analyzed our opponent. Shkëndija is an experienced team that conducts home matches well. Our task is to play the first match well. The result, of course, is important, because it will also depend on how we will play in the return match in Tiraspol.”
 
The training session lasted about an hour. It passed fun. At the same time, the players listened to the coach’s instructions very attentively and performed exercises with great desire. Sergei Sokolov photo report is here.
