The Slovenian national football team will travel to Denmark today for the penultimate match of the Euro 2024 qualifiers on Friday. Before leaving for Copenhagen, where Slovenia could already secure its place at the European Championships in Germany with a win, he stepped in front of the press

who believes that Kek’s squad will play a very good game at the Parken stadium. Andraž Šporar knows that the task will be anything but easy, but he has no doubt that Slovenia can succeed.
“Of course, we are all a little anxious, but at the same time we are enjoying this week immensely. We have arrived in the situation we wanted from the start of the qualifiers, namely that everything is up to us. No doubt tomorrow will not be easy, they too have their own goals and their own agenda. I think we have enough quality to hope for a positive result,“, Ekipa24 relayed the words of the Slovenian forward, who stepped into the national team base in Brdo pri Kranju before the seventh force.
That Slovenia has a hellish task ahead of it is as true as nailed. It’s true that Kek’s cast will have their fingers crossed
more than 500 fans
from Slovenia, but most of the visitors at the Parken Stadium will still have their fingers crossed for the home team.
“For me personally, and I believe for all my teammates, it is easier to play these games in front of 40 000 people. If that doesn’t motivate you… We have an extra motivation because a win would qualify us for Euro 2024. It’s easier to play in such an atmosphere, even if all those spectators aren’t rooting for you,” said the Ljubljana resident, who will have to be careful in Copenhagen. If he receives a yellow card, he will have to sit out the last match against Kazakhstan.
“MI don’t think I have a problem with that, unless I put it in 95. 1:0 minute into the game and I’ll take my jersey off (laughs). It’s a fact that sometimes you step on your opponent’s foot in the fight for the ball, but I don’t think about it,“added Andraž Šporar, who defends the colours of the Greek giant on the club scene.
