We have been to the European and World Championships, and we have also participated in numerous competitions in younger categories. But never before has Slovenia played in the European Under-21 Championship. Will it be different next year? Let’s be honest: the Slovenian youth national team is showing really well in the qualifiers. Milenko Aćimović has led his team to four wins in five games, and Slovenia even leads Group H in the company of the football powerhouse France.
“This match was of utmost importance to us,” said Milenko Aćimović after the convincing victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, which fell 0-3 in Murska Sobota on Friday, as reported by Football Planet. He did not hold back in praising his players.
Aćimović: “It’s really hard to beat us”
“First and foremost, I would like to dedicate this victory to the boys who once again proved that they possess exceptional character. Bosnia and Herzegovina has a good team and good individuals. It has always been the case. But it’s really hard to beat Slovenia and such characterful boys who play and fight the way they have been for quite some time now. All I can do is publicly congratulate them for their performance. They could have scored even more goals, but regardless, I am really satisfied and proud to be the coach of such a group of players,” said the expert from Ljubljana.
Milenko Aćimović realizes that dreams are now more than achievable, although there is no doubt that the conclusion of the qualifiers will be intense. “In September and October, we have a kind of mini-final ahead of us. Three matches that will decide everything. But if the boys continue with such an approach… Of course, some may lack a bit more playing time at the club, but these boys manage to compensate for everything with this incredible desire, with the incredible pride they feel when wearing the Slovenian jersey. I am truly fascinated by them,” concluded the former sports director of Olimpija.
