In the FA Cup 1/4 final against Shandong Taishan, Adaimi came off the bench, but was replaced early due to injury. If the injury is not serious, the North Macedonian midfielder will return home for the European qualifiers. According to the official website of the North Macedonian Football Association, head coach Milevski has announced a 29-man European preliminary squad, with Ademi, Elmas and Balzi listed, and former captain Stefan Ristovski officially withdrew from the national team.

On the last international break, North Macedonia suffered two consecutive defeats in the European Preliminary Round, especially in the away game against England, which was "slaughtered" 0-7, and the core players led by Ristovski and Ademi were also fiercely attacked by public opinion.

In order to change the status quo of the team, captain Ristovski has repeatedly advised coach Milevski, but the latter's overreaction has led to a gradual disagreement between the two. In desperation, he could only announce his retirement from the national team. After this, the president of the football association, Zheidini, called an emergency meeting to discuss Milevsky's future, and since he could not find a suitable replacement in the short term, he had to keep Milevski until the end of his contract (Milevsky's contract expired in November).
Ademiah and Ristovsky
According to the European Preliminary Fixtures, North Macedonia will play two matches in September, at home to Italy on September 9 and away to Malta on September 12.
