Will Slovenia be without a talented defender? Žiga Laci receives a passport from Hungary, which had already wanted to call him up to the national team
Although Žiga Laci has had anything but a top season, this does not change the fact that he is one of the most promising Slovenian footballers . The 20-year-old defender is only 20 years old after problems in
Koper
where he didn’t play much due to injury, he is slowly getting back on his feet in the reserve team of the newly crowned Greek champions. Ziga Laci has played 14 games since his return to Athens and left more than a solid mark in the second Greek league. While it is not yet known where he will play next season, there could be a big change in his national team career soon.
Žiga Laci has played many games for Slovenia’s younger national teams in the past, and has also worn the Under-21 national team jersey three times. But the former Mura player has for some time been targeted by the country where part of his roots come from – Hungary. The Hungarians showed interest in the Prekmurje player some time ago and, when he was playing for AEK, they even wanted to call him up to their national team. But Žiga Laci did not have all the necessary documents in place at the time, and now things have changed. Žiga Laci has recently obtained a Hungarian passport and could therefore play for either Slovenia or Hungary at the youth level.
It will certainly be interesting to see how the story continues. But perhaps the above will also be a good warning for
the Football Association of Slovenia
(NZS), which is scouring the world for players who could play for Slovenia, and probably doesn’t want a talented, home-grown boy to escape from under its nose…
