Boss Jimmy Thelin is proud of the seven Aberdeen players currently on international duty for the Uefa Nations League. These players have been performing exceptionally well for Aberdeen, with a perfect record of 13 wins from 13 games. Thelin believes that this experience will only benefit these players and help them grow as professionals.
The seven players have joined their respective national squads with high spirits. Three players, Nicky Devlin, Jack MacKenzie, and Kevin Nisbet, are part of the Scotland squad facing tough opponents like Croatia and Portugal. Finland’s Topi Keskinen will be taking on England, while Aberdeen midfielder Jamie McGrath is also in contention for international matches.
Dimitar Mitov, the Bulgarian keeper, and Slobodan Rubezic, the Montenegro center-back, are also representing their countries in the Uefa Nations League. Thelin is delighted that these players have the opportunity to showcase their skills on an international stage. He believes that this exposure will help them learn and improve, which will ultimately benefit Aberdeen as a team.
Keskinen, who recently made his debut for Finland, is set to face England again after an impressive performance in their previous encounter. England, who suffered a shock defeat to Greece, will be looking to bounce back, making this match an exciting one to watch. Keskinen’s journey from Finland to Aberdeen has been remarkable, and he continues to impress with his skills on the field.
Thelin also praised Nicky Devlin for his dedication and hunger on the field. Devlin, who scored a crucial goal in Aberdeen’s win against Hearts, has been a key player for the team. His call-up to the Scotland squad is a testament to his hard work and commitment. Thelin believes that Devlin’s experience with the national team will be invaluable for his growth as a player.
Overall, Aberdeen’s impressive form and the international exposure of their players highlight the team’s strength and potential. As these players continue to excel on the field, Aberdeen fans can look forward to more exciting performances in the upcoming matches. The international break serves as a valuable opportunity for these players to learn, grow, and come back stronger for the remainder of the season.
