The senior Slovenian national team delivered an outstanding performance on Monday, and the young national team will also try to achieve a new victory as it nears the end of its battle for a spot in the European Championship. Under the guidance of coach Milenko Aćimović, the team currently leads its group. Today, they face their last home game in Murska Sobota. Another win against Cyprus, which is at the bottom of Group H, would bring Slovenia very close to the major tournament. It’s no surprise that Matjaž Kek used the press conference after the game against Kazakhstan to urge fellow countrymen to attend the match at Fazanerija and support the Slovenian youth team.
Matjaž Kek also touched on the young national team when asked if he might consider watching the Champions League clash of his captain Jan Oblak and prolific scorer Benjamin Šeško in person, who scored four goals during the September international break, including three against Kazakhstan.
Matjaž Kek: “They can give us a lot”
“You know me, I try to avoid the limelight. Everyone sees that. Maybe I’ll go watch Salernitana or Piso instead… The players you’re referring to are ‘set up’. I would like to get even more out of all players and give them recognition. But first, I’m going to Fazanerija on Tuesday. I hope Fazanerija will be full. The young national team is playing, and a win could really put us in a strong position for the European Championship. They deserve a full stadium and a good atmosphere. The generation of players we have can contribute significantly to Slovenian national football,” emphasized the seasoned Maribor native, who celebrated his 63rd birthday on Monday.
Today’s game in the capital of Prekmurje will kick off at 6 PM, with tickets available at a flat rate of 8 euros. Children under 14 have free entry. Those who cannot attend the match can watch the live broadcast on Sportklub.
