After the summer break, the obligations for the younger national teams will resume in August. The Slovenian youth national team will play two friendly matches, with coach Mišo Brečko leading the U-19 squad against Italy. The first match will be on August 6 in Manzano, Italy, and the second will take place two days later in Ajdovščina. The players will gather on August 4, and Mišo Brečko has already revealed the list of players he will rely on.
Among them is Niko Grlić, who debuted with a goal in the Prva liga Telemach for Maribor. Mišo Brečko also called up his club teammate Max Bilać. Luka Topalović, who recently signed for Inter Milan, will dictate the pace of the game, and Aljaž Strajnar, a 16-year-old goalkeeper from Mura, also received an invitation. Another 16-year-old, Tais Šabotić from Bravo, left a very good impression in his debut for the senior team in a European match in Wales. There are several players on the list who played under Brečko’s leadership at last year’s U-17 European Championship, and for the first time among the U-19s is Sven Šunta, a 17-year-old who has already trained with the senior team at Dinamo Zagreb.
