Petar Stojanović was one of the most effective Slovenian players at the recent national team gathering. Against Austria, he won a penalty, which Benjamin Šeško converted for the first of his four September international goals. Even against Kazakhstan, Stojanović constantly troubled the opposition defense with his runs and dribbling.
“Kazakhstan was quite defensively set up with five players at the back, so there wasn’t much space on the flanks. That’s why I moved more towards the center. In the end, of course, the credit goes to Benjamin Šeško for his three great goals and the win. But we played as a team, just like every match! So, congratulations to all the guys. Thanks also to the fans who came to support us in such large numbers despite it being Monday and the difficult weather. Heartfelt thanks to them,” explained Petar Stojanović after the match in Stožice.
Stojanović: “They have their qualities. But so do we!”
The newly signed player for Salernitana is delighted that Slovenia has remained at a high level even after Euro 2024 and started the Nations League with four points. “It was an incredible evening, and the fact is that the whole operation went exactly as we planned and outlined at the beginning. Great! Once again, we showed and proved that after Euro 2024, we have not relaxed at all. We keep going, that’s the team. We have the right mentality, which was instilled in us by coach Kek and his staff. I must admit that I did not expect such an easy game, considering the difficult pitch. But we adapted and celebrated as a team,” emphasized the Ljubljana native currently working in Italy.
Slovenia will regroup in October for two challenging and, in many ways, crucial away games in Norway and distant Kazakhstan. “Two tough matches and one very long trip… We are on the right path, but nothing is decided yet. However, if we continue like this, we have no reason to be afraid. We take it one game at a time, not thinking about the final goal, although it’s somewhere in our minds. It’s important not to rush things. First up is Oslo, where a tough game awaits us. Norway is excellent; they beat Austria. They showed their qualities, but we have them too. We definitely won’t just go to Oslo to play a game,” concluded the 28-year-old Petar Stojanović.
