Without a coach against the French, Pjanić's hundredth appearance for the national team

SARAJevo, (Patria) - At the Grbavica stadium, the BiH national football team will host the French national team tonight at 20:45 as part of the World Cup qualifiers. Given that coach Ivaylo Petev is infected with coronavirus, he will not lead the team during the match.

For national team player Miralem Pjanić, this will be his hundredth appearance for the national team. He dedicated tomorrow's match to his father, family, and friends, Pjanić said.

Elvir Rahimić, assistant coach, said that the match will also depend on the opponent, but they expect a difficult encounter because the French are offensively minded and look for every mistake. He added that the players will surely have additional motivation to achieve the best possible result.

Pjanić said that home advantage will surely be an advantage and they will have to play compactly.
