This week, the boys on whom the future of Slovenian football relies gathered. Well, before they reach the main stage, they will have to undergo countless trainings, play numerous matches, and there will be plenty of wins and losses. Nevertheless, Slovenia U14 played their second friendly match against North Macedonia in Radenci and drew for the second time. The first match ended 2:2, the second 1:1.
The Slovenians took the lead after eighteen minutes of play when Gašper Jesenko, a player from Aluminij, scored. Despite playing with one man down in the second half, the home team led until the end of the match, but they conceded a goal deep into stoppage time. As mentioned, it ended 1:1.
“In the second match against Macedonia, we gave playing time to all the players. Until the dismissal of our player in the second half, we played a good game and showed great progress in all phases of the game. Compared to Tuesday’s match, we created many opportunities and even took the lead from one, but unfortunately, the opponent equalized in the last minute of the match. I would like to congratulate the boys for their progress and thank my staff for the excellent work done. Thanks also go to the clubs and coaches who care for the daily development of the players,” said Boštjan Kreft, the U14 Slovenia national team coach, for the NZS website.
