Sport 19 maltatoday, WEDNESDAY, 3 SEPTEMBER 2014 SPORTTODAY FOOTBALL Ghedin selects final squad for Slovakia and Croatia THE senior national team will be lin- ing up against Slovakia tomorrow, kicking off at 6.20pm, in an away match in preparation for the upcom- ing Euro 2016 group matches cam- paign. Head coach Pietro Ghedin is un- der no illusion regarding the tough tests which await his team in the Euro competition. His squad is partly a work-in-progress outfit, with a number of players being introduced alongside some established names. No doubt, he will have a hard task ahead against the Slovaks who are de- termined to show their quality when they face Malta. Tactically, Ghedin will go for an adaptable formation with probable tweaking in the game plan as well as making the necessary changes during the match in order to determine the core of our side in the engagements ahead this season. The build-up, including this friend- ly match, has been on for quite some time. "The moment of truth when we will face the tough tests of the EURO 2016 Qualfiiers is only one match away," the MFA said.
