Call out to the National team
The International tournament in Estonia
/ 13 November
The friendly tournament with the participation of three national teams will take place in November in Estonia. Besides the home team and Moldova team, the Lithuanian team is going to perform in this tournament - it will replace the team from Turkmenistan that has refused to take part in it. The head coach of Estonian team,
Tarmo Ryuitlee has informed the UEFA official site that it doesn't play any role: "It is good that someone will arrive in November, - he admitted. - Lithuania and Moldova have very good teams but we will not be preparing specially for the matches against them". The tournament will take place from 18 to 22 November in Tallinn and Kuressaare.
                                
For participation in the International tournament, four "Sheriff" players - Stanislav Namasco, Andrei Corneencov, Igor Picusciac and Evgheni Gorodetchi – have been called out to the National team of Moldova. By the way, it will be the first cap for Gorodetchi in the Moldova National team. Serghei Alekseev who was injured during the match against the Greek National team (in the qualifying match for the World Championship - 2010) didn't receive the invitation to the National team. "Sheriff" players will have to defend the honour of the country in the matches against the National team of Estonia (on 18 November) and Lithuania (on 19 November). The National team of Lithuania is on the 37th place in the FIFA rating now, Moldova - on the 76th, and The National team of Estonia - on the 137th place.
                           
Andrei Corneencov, the midfielder of FC "Sheriff":
 - I think this tournament will profit the National team of Moldova. Dobrovolskiy has invited many new players who weren't involved in the National team's matches before. Probably, we will play by two different lines-up against Estonia and Lithuania. It will be some kind of watching the candidates to the National team for qualifying matches of World Championship-2010. The time chosen for the tournament in Estonia causes alarm because of intense matches in the Championship and Moldova Cup. So, the clubs may suffer.
                         
Evgheni Gorodetchi, the forward of FC "Sheriff":
                           
- I have received the invitation to the National team for the first time. It is a good chance for me to display myself and to test my strength at the higher level. I will try to deserve the place in the line-up of Moldova National Team for participation in more significant tournaments too.
