Slovenia 1, Austria 1. And the very first draw in matches between the neighbors. The Slovenian national team did not shine in the opening match of the Nations League, but it must be noted that Austria is currently in exceptional form, especially under the guidance of Ralf Rangnick, who employs a very difficult style of football. This was also highlighted by Jaka Bijol, who wore the captain’s armband in the absence of Jan Oblak. Korošec admitted that it is really hard to play against the Austrians.
“Austria is a very good national team, and they confirmed that in this match,“” said Jaka Bijol after the opening match of the Nations League. The defender of Udinese continued: “”The Austrians play at a high pace throughout the match, making it difficult to compete with them. Considering their individual quality, they may not belong to the very highest level and among the very best, but the rhythm they set is something incredible. It is really hard to play against them, as they are good at what they do.”
And Slovenia? At times, Kek’s team really struggled… “We had to work hard. And we worked hard from start to finish. It is clear that we want to be even better. We saw that we have quite a bit of work ahead of us, but I have no doubt that we will learn a lot from the match that is behind us,” emphasized Jaka Bijol. Slovenia will have the opportunity to show an even better face on Monday when Kazakhstan comes to Stožice.”
