SARAJEVO, Oct. 31 (Xinhua) -- Bosnia and Herzegovina's (BiH's) coach Robert Prosinecki on Thursday announced the list of 25 players for the matches against Italy and Lichtenstein in UEFA European Championship 2020 qualifiers.
During the press conference at BiH's Football Association headquarters in Sarajevo, Prosinecki emphasized the need to play well in the two last qualifying matches.
"The most important thing is that we play well in these two matches, so then we can just wait for the playoffs," Prosinecki said, adding that he is certain that they will play well against Italy.
"There is pressure, the match with Italy will be the test and we will give everything to play a good game," he added.
Prosinecki also mentioned that the team will maybe play with two forwards, but added that he will make the decision based on the team's preparations.
Commenting on the players, Prosinecki said that Edin Dzeko is certainly the most important player, but added that for him, personally, the most important is that players are healthy and fit.
