Ghedin calls up final squad for Slovakia and Croatia

  The senior national team will be lining up against Slovakia on Thursday 4th September, kick-off at 18.20 Hrs., in an away match in preparation for the upcoming Euro 2016 group matches campaign.   Head coach Pietro Ghedin is under 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 determined 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 friendly 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.  National 'A' Team Final List vs Slovakia and Croatia     Name DOBClub Club Country Position Justin Haber09/06/1981BirkirkaraMaltaGKAndrew Hogg02/03/1985Kalloni LekanopedioGreeceGK     Andrei Agius12/08/1986Unattached DFSteve Bezzina05/01/1987BalzanMaltaDFSteve Borg15/05/1988VallettaMaltaDFRyan Camilleri22/05/1988VallettaMaltaDFJonathan Caruana24/07/1986VallettaMaltaDFClayton Failla08/01/1986HiberniansMaltaDFZach Muscat22/08/1993BirkirkaraMaltaDF     Andrew Cohen13/05/1981HiberniansMaltaMFPaul Fenech20/12/1986BirkirkaraMaltaMFRyan Fenech20/04/1986VallettaMaltaMFEdward Herrera14/11/1986BirkirkaraMaltaMFBjorn Kristensen05/04/1993HiberniansMaltaMFRowen Muscat05/06/1991DunaujvarosHungaryMFSteve Pisani07/08/1992Floriana MaltaMFAndre' Schembri27/05/1986FSV FrankfurtGermanyMFRyan Scicluna30/07/1993BirkirkaraMaltaMF     Michael Mifsud17/04/1981SliemaMaltaFWJean Paul Farrugia21/03/1992Spartak TrnavaSlovakiaFW
