When your team doesn’t concede a goal, the job is well done. Slovenia managed to “keep a clean sheet” after the debacle in Norway, which, along with a goal from Jan Mlakar, was the recipe for success against the always tricky Kazakhstan. Jaka Bijol didn’t have as much work this time as he did on Thursday, but he honestly admitted that it was a very demanding and rather unusual match for the Slovenian national team.
“It wasn’t easy for us; it was a really strange match. We started poorly, but then we pulled ourselves together. In the second half, we had the match under control. We can be satisfied with how we responded after Norway. Two very demanding away games. We can’t be happy with the first match; the performance in the second could have been better, but the most important thing is the three points to keep our story going,” Jaka Bijol said to Sportklub after the victory in Almaty, where the Slovenian national team won 1-0.
The Slovenian national team will try to continue its success story next month, when it concludes the Nations League. In the penultimate round, they will play at home against Norway, and in the final round, they will visit Vienna to face Austria. It’s worth noting that Matjaž Kek’s squad is still in the running for promotion to the highest tier of the Nations League.
