This week, under the guidance of coach Boštjan Kreft, the Slovenian U14 national team is on a journey, having already played the first of two friendly matches against North Macedonia. In Radenci, Slovenia U14 first found themselves in the lead, then trailing, and it ended in a 2-2 draw. Slovenia will play the second match on Thursday at 11 a.m.
“With the match against Macedonia, we entered a developmental period for the new generation of the Slovenian national team. The goal of the first match was to get to know the invited players and see their abilities at the international level. That’s why we played the match with two separate lineups. We tried to assemble two evenly matched teams and, in addition to the developmental aspect, be as competitive as possible. The result was deserved in the end. On Wednesday, we have training, where we’ll try to improve certain things and play another good match on Thursday,” said Boštjan Kreft after the opening match, in which Nejc Roman Leljak from Varaždin scored in the 54th minute and Kenan Džuzdanović from Primorje in the 76th minute, as reported for the NZS website.
