In the pre-match press conference of Slovenia against Serbia in the second round of the UEFA Europa League group stage, Slovenia's head coach Kike expressed his views and expectations for the upcoming match.
Kike emphasized that it is not enough to rely on the 11 players on the field against a fast-paced, high-intensity game. He revealed that the team is working on how to be able to maintain a high intensity tempo for 90 minutes against a strong team like Serbia. This shows his deep consideration of the team's physical ability and tactical arrangement.
Kike humbly stated that he sees himself as the least important player in this game and values the play of other players who don't play regularly. He admits to respecting every player and believes in the team's ability to persevere through difficult times, as evidenced by the statistics of the last few games.
Speaking about the team's growth, Keck believes that in such a competitive environment, the team will improve minute by minute. He warned that expecting too much from the team could be overly optimistic, but emphasized that they want to achieve positive results and prove that the team deserves the stage and qualified to come to Germany on merit.
