Jaka Bijol satisfied with the victory, even more so because it was achieved on a difficult field: “It bounces a little, it deflects a little, you have to stay focused all the time”

How it will turn out remains to be seen, but the outlook is not the best. The pitch in Stožice is already damaged, and it’s barely the beginning of September. The weeks with the greatest load are yet to come, and it’s worth noting that this year, Olimpija is not the only team playing at Stožice, but Bravo as well. European competitions will also resume… Jaka Bijol, a key defender for Slovenia, admitted after the victory over Kazakhstan that it was challenging—not so much because of the opponent, but more due to the playing surface.
“On such a pitch, it’s hard to enjoy the game because you have to be focused on every ball. It bounces and skips a lot, so you need to be concentrated at all times, as mistakes can happen quickly. Mistakes lead to goals. It’s good that we were all focused, there were some mistakes, but in the end, that’s normal on such a pitch. We didn’t give Kazakhstan a chance, and that’s the most important thing. We also enjoyed it once the score was 3:0,” said Jaka Bijol after the 3:0 victory in the Nations League match.
Bijol: “Šeško will be a bit more relaxed now”
The defender of the Italian top-tier club Udinese also touched on the hero Benjamin Šeško, the eighth Slovenian with a hat-trick in the national team shirt: “Benjamin Šeško? A historic achievement, but I think he will score more hat-tricks in his career as he has immense potential. We’ll see where he stops with his goals. We will all help him score as many as possible. Just as he works for the team, we must also support him. It was nice to see him score three goals and now he can be a bit more relaxed after the European Championship…“
