On Wednesday, the cadets and youth teams played, on Thursday the seniors, and now it’s the turn of the players wearing the jersey of the Slovenian under-21 national team. Coach Milenko Aćimović and his chosen ones will take the field at Fazanerija, where they will host Bosnia and Herzegovina. Slovenia has already played against them and defeated them away with a score of 2:1. Due to this, optimism before the match in Prekmurje is high; in the Slovenian camp, they believe they can repeat the performance in front of their fans.
“The team is performing very well, from day one. Not only in this current campaign, but we’ve been performing well since the first qualifying match, since the preparatory match against Finland. There is a real enthusiasm on the field, and the atmosphere produces the results we have. The boys are motivated, they want to win and enjoy playing for the national team. They have shown this many times. From our accumulated points, it’s evident that they are also a good team. We continue with our game and system; there’s not much time for rehearsing; we had two training sessions with the whole team. I’ve been with these guys for a year and a half; they know what I expect from them. They fulfill the agreed tactical plan very well. Once again, we aim to win, and I believe the boys are capable of defeating BiH once again and earning three points,” Milenko Aćimović told NZS’s website.
Before the match against BiH, Slovenia lost Martin Pečar due to injury; in his place, Nick Perc from Domžale joined the squad. Mark Strajnar is suspended and ineligible to play; all others are fit for the game.
“We are in a good position, but we must take each game as it comes; each one is a separate story. What we have done so far is already in the past; we look forward to the next match. The clash with BiH is as important as all the others. We have prepared well for the opponent we have already beaten in Sarajevo. I believe we will be successful again this time and will earn three points. I always say that Fazanerija never disappoints; I think it will be the same this time too,” emphasized Tio Cipot upon returning to Fazanerija. He is one of Slovenia’s strongest weapons in these qualifiers. It’s worth noting that the match in Murska Sobota will kick off at 18:00.
