Erik Janža was one of the heroes of Slovenia at the Euro 2024, but the captain of Gornik from Zabrze is aware that one cannot live on past glory. New challenges lie ahead for the Slovenian national team, with the opening match of the new Nations League scheduled for Friday. Erik Janža takes the competition very seriously and strives for the best possible Slovenia, while also hoping that the public will respond as they did at the European Championship. That Slovenia will have loud support from the stands against both Austria and Kazakhstan.
“I expect Slovenia to continue to be with us, as it was in the past qualifiers and at the European Championship. I am glad that football is once again the number one sport in the country. We hope that every match will be sold out, but we are aware that the Monday schedule is somewhat inconvenient for fans. In any case, I know that there will be positive energy in the stands,” Erik Janža hopes before the matches that will take place in Stožice.
The Prekmurec touched on the results aspect of the upcoming matches at Brdo pri Kranju, where the squad of coach Matjaž Kek is preparing: “It is always necessary to strive for the highest goals. This time we want to advance to a higher quality level, but we know it won’t be easy. The group is demanding, and everyone will be even more motivated against us than they would be if we weren’t playing at the European Championship. If we want to play at the level we did in the summer, we must start from the basics, as that is the only way to achieve such results. It will be crucial, as we have already seen against Malta that it doesn’t work if we are not on point. If our approach is one hundred percent, everything will be fine.“
