Stožice were sold out, but far from Portugal playing in the Slovenian hell. And if anyone, the Portuguese were certainly not brought to their knees by the fans, although – clearly – all those who were rooting for the home team deserve a deep bow. Petar Stojanović spoke candidly after the match, echoing the sentiments of many – ‘Ronaldomania’ didn’t impress him at all…
“We enjoyed the game, but the only thing that’s a bit sad and worries me is the atmosphere today. I felt like they were cheering more for Ronaldo and Portugal than for us. I think we deserved a bit more respect from all the fans. Only hats off to our dedicated fans, who are always with us, even since San Marino,” said the 28-year-old Petar Stojanović after Slovenia’s 2-0 victory.
The Sampdoria player was much more pleased by the fact that Slovenia proved it will be competitive against everyone at Euro 2024: “Realistically, we’ll have such games at the Euros, as every match will be tough there. But we’ve proven that we can play against anyone. We were at the right level, and when we’re not at that level, what happened against Malta occurs. We’re happy with the win, although in the end, the effect is the same as after the Malta match. We can be proud that we ended their winning streak, as they hadn’t been defeated in eleven consecutive matches. That means a lot.“
