Josip Iličić at Euro 2024 – yes or no? Opinions will always be divided, especially in football, but statistics testify that the star of Maribor is in truly magnificent form this year. National team coach Matjaž Kek has already shown that he likes to draw from the talents of the Prva liga Telemach, and the fact is that there are currently few better in the Slovenian league than the purple star. This sentiment is shared by Timi Max Elšnik, a regular member of the national team, who will undoubtedly be among the travelers to Germany, expressing the belief that Josip Iličić could be very useful for Slovenia.
“Surely, I would take him to Germany. The message from his side is clear, whose wouldn’t be. How often does Slovenia qualify for a major tournament? We know what kind of career he has had, he only lacks this, really. I believe these are his dreams. When it comes to the result and in the last fifteen, twenty minutes when you need individual quality or someone who creates something out of nothing and wins the game, perhaps we don’t have anyone better than him,” Timi Max Elšnik said on the show Pod prečko on Sportklub.
The captain of Olimpija regarding the experienced player from Ljudski vrt and his potential appearance at the championship of the Old Continent added: “But it’s not my decision, I’m sure the coach will put together a team that will create a positive story in Germany. Now there are three additional spots, and we’ll see what surprise he will serve. Those of us who will be there, perhaps today we were rivals, but there we will be like brothers. For all of us, for you, all in one direction. To bring this beautiful story to an end. We’ll see if Josip is with us, but undoubtedly, he is one of the greatest Slovenian footballers of all time, and this little star would come in handy for him.”
