Constant pressure from the English, but the player of the match is Adam Gnezda Čerin! The Slovenian midfielder did not hide his joy after the historical success of the national team

We would be lying if we said that Slovenia did not suffer against the star-studded England in Cologne; oh, how much composure and courage our boys needed to stand up against a team like the Three Lions. They were collectively rewarded with a historic success, and individually, Adam Gnezda Čerin overshadowed everyone on the field, even those worth 50 times more than him, earning the award for best player of the match.

The Slovenian midfielder didn’t forget where the first chapter of this golden generation story actually began, a generation many had already written off not long ago. “Two years ago, we played against Serbia and lost 1-4 in Belgrade. That was a turning point, and since then, as a team, we’ve only grown. It’s been a process through which we’ve built a generation, and this generation has achieved something that no previous one has. We were rewarded for our work over the past few years.”

“We analyzed their game in detail, saw where they were dangerous, and stuck to our game plan throughout the match. Except for a few situations, they weren’t that dangerous. But to limit a super-star-studded team, you have to put in a lot of effort, a lot of suffering – we worked for each other, we ran for each other. Against a team like England, you have to play exceptionally well,” said a member of Panathinaikos about the happenings on the field at RheinEnergie Stadium.

The boys were aware of their own abilities and strength even before the game, believing they practically had all the strings in their hands. “We had everything in our hands before the game. We wanted to be in such a position, even though England awaited us. We told everyone that this team is capable, that we can do it. We approached this game positively, aiming to achieve a result that would bring us progress regardless of what happens elsewhere.”

“Unforgettable feelings. We’ve made history. Maybe we haven’t fully realized what we’ve actually achieved yet, but I’m proud of this team, of these guys. Once again, we’ve proven that we’re an exceptional team, one that every team in the world struggles against,” concluded Gnezda Čerin about the emotions surrounding such a significant achievement.
