Not only the U17s, on Wednesday, the U19 national team will also start the decisive round of qualifiers for the European Championship, now led by Mišo Brečko after Anton Žlogar‘s departure. The Zasavje native has called up 20 players to the national team, who will face what is perhaps the toughest task on paper right from the first point of the tournament on home soil. The U19s will face Spain in Lendava on Wednesday, a team that is the most successful European national team in the history of this level of competition! The Spanish have been European champions a whopping nine times…
The match in Prekmurje will kick off at 19:00, and coach Mišo Brečko was brief in his interview for the NZS website: “The team’s condition is very good. The training sessions are taking place in an excellent atmosphere, and we are eagerly anticipating the opening match.”
The task will be even more challenging because the U19s will only qualify for the European Championship if they win their group, which also includes Kosovo. The U19s will face Austria on March 23 and Kosovo on March 26. The remaining two matches will also be played in Lendava. Mišo Brečko has called up the following players to the national team: Miha Trdan (Pisa/ITA), Luka Mlakar (Roma/ITA), Jaka Čuber Potočnik (Köln/GER), Niko Kasalo (Mura), Tim Štrasberger (Koper), Kristjan Bendra (Red Bull Salzburg/AUT), Lan Hribar (Bravo), Kevin Benkič (Bravo), Beno Selan (Bravo), Lucas Mačak (Celje), Lukas Hempt (Domžale), Luka Topalović (Domžale), Lukas Tomažič (Maribor), Luka Poredoš (Maribor), Anej Lorbek (Maribor), Riad Silajdžić (Maribor), Lovro Golič (Roma/ITA), Arjan Malić (Ried/AUT), Dino Kojić (Olimpija), Aldin Jakupović (Olimpija).
