Talay is eager to get the players together for the first time this year ahead of the upcoming qualification campaign.

ā€œThis week is about bringing players into our environment and see how they adapt to our playing style & philosophy,ā€ said Talay

ā€œWe have two quality games which we can observe the players with a view towards the (AFC U-19 Championship) qualifiers.

ā€œEvery player will get the opportunity to play, so for us it is very important to identify players that can do what we ask them to do,ā€ concluded Talay.
