Euro 2024 is entering the decisive phase for the Slovenian national team, which faces a meeting with the English national team tomorrow. However, Jan Mlakar is not afraid, as he believes that Slovenia’s last two performances in the European Championship have been a clear indication of what the team is capable of.
Mlakar sees the positive aspects primarily from the matches against Serbia and Denmark, which he would carry into Tuesday’s match against England. “The hardest things are the most beautiful. After these two performances, I don’t see any reason why we wouldn’t be up to the task. We are consistent and mainly focus on ourselves. We all need to work together. If we stay compact, it will be much easier for us. And if we maintain the same physical and mental level, then anything is possible. We have already proven that we can. We must not approach the match with fear, as we understand what it should bring us,”
“If we win, we will advance. There are other scenarios that could see us advance, but I would prefer to advance with a win, and it is important to go into the match with that mindset. Let’s show what we know, and I believe that in the end, it will be enough,” concluded the member of the Italian club Pisa.
