David Brekalo: “We need to win all six points”
“I think we have already shown against the Scandinavian teams that we can match them in all segments of the game. We can compete with them in terms of fitness, but we have enough quality to make a difference on the pitch,” is the 24-year-old from the Slovenian capital, who added: “We are all aware that we could have scored a few more points in previous campaigns. Unfortunately, we can’t change that now, so we are focused on the next matches. In my opinion, we need to win all six points in the next two games.”
Six points even with a goal by a Viking? “I hope so! I want to score every game and help my team. These are the so-called easy goals that a team can score. But it is clear that the priority is a good, solid defence to keep the net intact,” added David Brekalo at the gathering in Gorenjska.
