Gilbert Agius has warned his Malta U-21 players that they should put firmly behind them their 4-1 win over Northern Ireland and brace themselves for a much tougher test a Malta U-21 take on Russia in their second UEFA Championship qualifier in Khimki on Tuesday.
The Malta U-21 youngsters head into the match against the Russians in high spirits following their impressive 4-1 win over Northern Ireland on Friday with Mattia Veselji netting a brace with the other goals coming from Jake Engerer and Ayrton Attard.
“The match against Northern Ireland was a great day for us but it’s important to put it among our memories and focus on the match against Russia,” coach Gilbert Agius told mfa.com.mt.
