In this month, the qualifications for the European Under-21 Championship will continue, and so far, things are looking very promising for Slovenia. Milenko Aćimović and his team have won three out of the first four matches, earning as many points (9) as the leading France. In light of this, it is irrelevant to emphasize how important the next match will be, as Slovenia faces Bosnia and Herzegovina on March 22nd at Fazanerija in Murska Sobota.
“We’ve put ourselves in a position where we have the same number of points as the leading France, and Austria is behind us. This generation will play its third match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, so there are no secrets between us. We know them very well, and they know us very well too. However, I believe that we are of higher quality and can defeat them again on our home ground,” said Milenko Aćimović to NZS website, sticking to the roster.
Aćimović: “There were also some injuries”
“I would continue with the team that started a nice story in the current qualifications. In November, we played a strong and well-prepared friendly match with Turkey, previously defeating Finland and performing well in the first half of the qualifications. The biggest credit for this goes to the boys, and I would like us to continue at the same pace. As for the names… in these years, various football issues arise regarding playing in the club; some are looking for a new club, and there were also some injuries. I believe that the core of the team will be ready, and everyone will respond to the call,” added the former sports director of Olimpija, who has already lost Marko Strajnar due to injury.
Slovenia has already faced Bosnia and Herzegovina in these qualifications, back in September last year when, after Admir Bristrić’s goal, they found themselves behind. However, Tjaš Begić and Tio Cipot scored, securing a 2-1 victory.
