The Slovenian U21 national team will play their final match in the European Championship qualifiers tonight at 20:30, with one of the key players for the visitors in Austria being Svit Sešlar. The midfielder, who has returned to playing in the Prva liga Telemach, is in excellent form, and if he replicates his performances from Celje in the national team’s jersey, it will undoubtedly make things much easier for coach Milenko Aćimović’s squad in this decisive match for qualification to a major tournament.
“We are all eagerly waiting to play this match, there is a sense of positive nervousness. We know what this match brings. At the start of the qualifiers, we could only hope to get to a position where just a point would take us to the European Championship. As in every test so far, we will go for all three points this time as well and then see what the match brings. Similar to the rest of the qualifiers, we will play together, compact in the midfield. After winning the ball, we will be ready to attack the opponent’s last line with every move. I believe we will create many chances,” Sešlar said to the NZS website before the match with their northern neighbors.
The former Olimpija player, currently on loan at Eyupspor from Turkey, added: “No matter how many matches France has, if you are ahead of such a team, it confirms that you’ve done well throughout the qualifiers. We are nearing the end of the qualifiers, with many matches already played. Ahead of the final match, we are in a position where we could have the same number of points or even be ahead of France. That speaks volumes and shows you are on the right track.“
