“For Macedonia it is an honor to play against a great team like Italy. We are playing at home and we want to give everything on the pitch.

For me it's a great emotion to play against Spalletti, the coach with whom I won the championship. It will be a very difficult match, we will give everything on the pitch.

If we were to win it would be a huge thing." Thus the striker of the Macedonia and Naples Elif Elmas, to the microphones of SkySport24, on the eve of the challenge against the Azzurri.

“In my opinion Spalletti will create a great team, with players of character, and as he said he will want an Italy like the Naples, a team that presses, has a lot of possession and plays good football – Elmas added to SkySport – He will be a top-level coach and Italy will be with him."

Always Spalletti, the attacker concluded: “I owe him a lot, I have always been available for him, he is a great man, I looked at him almost as a father, it is normal that for me it is a great emotion to meet him, he has given me so many things. With him I won a championship, and for someone who comes from a small country like mine it is a great thing that I will never forget”.
