The match for the Slovenian national team was a reminder of times long forgotten. It had been an eternity since we saw such a disheartened Slovenia, which lost for the first time in 12 matches and, notably, for the first time in 27 appearances conceded more than two goals in a single game. Jaka Bijol agrees with the unified conclusion of the Slovenian public that what we saw in Oslo was poor, and at times even very poor. However, such a match can happen, and it is crucial to forget it quickly and turn the lessons learned into ensuring that such a performance does not happen again.
“We must be honest; it was a bad match,” emphasized Jaka Bijol candidly, who, along with Vanja Drkušić, formed an exceptional defensive duo in recent months. At Ullevaal, they were merely a pale shadow of the defenders who had impressed, among other things, at the Euro 2024.
“It will be a bit harder to sleep, but we must quickly forget everything that has happened. A new opportunity for redemption will come soon, and we are certainly going to Kazakhstan to take all three points. Even in such matches, we grow, and we have to learn a lot from this one. The Norwegians were strong in duels, giving 100 percent, and we didn’t know how to respond to that. They pressured us well from the first minute and showed from the start that they wanted to win. I believe next month will be different in Stožice,” concluded the 25-year-old Jaka Bijol.
