Subject: U21 News & Matches

Plesec is ready:D

make a match with special ages with a weeker team:D U20,u19 or something:D

I've sent you a mail

I think we schouldn`t miss any matches...

Ok, we will play against Ukraina U20/U21.

They will play with a maximum of five 21 year olds, but it will still be a very difficult match...

Ukraina is stronger than we are, so I don´t think we can win, so perheps you could use this match to give a chance to some younger players, like Abramovic. ;) But ofcourse, you decide who is going to play. :)

Playing against a strong opponent doesn't mean we should do a lot of experiments with younger players. The higher the loss, the more ranking points you would lose. But Abramovic will get some playing time (like always).
The problem with the younger players is also their stamina. A lot of them can't play a whole match...

abramovic is weak in stamina...this is to low for the whole game i agree, but in such game as vs. Ukraina we have nothing to lose to be real :)

With a good tactic, we can do a lot of damage control ;-)

But you would like Abramovic to play 90 minutes? There's also a risk for injuries offcourse...

The line up and tactic are already in my head, so I'm not gonna change too much...

if you wish him to play 90 then do it, i don't care about injuries :)

you must know every 90 minutes of his play contributes to his training alot :)

Ukraina U21 2 : 0 Slovenija U21


It was not too bad, but Ukraina was better, so they deserved their win. Slovenija didn't give a lot away, but we couldn't create too much either (only 2 big chances for Brezovar). We were also unlucky with all the slight injuries during the match and the red card at the end...

Next week there should have been a match against Indonesia, but they already arranged a match with another opponent.
Instead of Indonesia, we play against Sakartvelo U21. This is not a very strong opponent, so there will be more room for experiments...

bad luck :/

Sakartvelo U21 0 : 2 Slovenija U21


I used this match to bring in some younger players. The average age of the starting line up was 19.6 years :-)
It was not a good match (a few terrible missed chances by Abramovic :P), but at least we won. And the important youngsters gained some extra training :-)

Next week we play against India U21, which will be a very difficult match...

Edit: we don't play against India, we play against Shqipëria U21 (Albania). I think this will be a close game. They have only a few ranking points more, so it's gonna be very interesting :-)

This has to be the new U21 goalkeeper for next seasons (and after that NT). Does anyone want to train him full on goalkeeper (and pace)?
Petr1990, could you also advertise him in Czech Republic? :-) I did this already in Netherlands...

Slovenija U21 1 : 2 Shqipëria U21

Costa Rica U21 0 : 2 Slovenija U21

2011-02-11 19:30 - Friendly - week 12
Slovenija U21 1 : 4 Pilipinas U21


These are the results of the last 3 friendly matches. I'm not happy with them, especially the match against Pilipinas yesterday was a distaster. The defence was standing too high, which gave them too many chances.
I'm also very worried about next season. Without Naglic, Pekosak and Jazbec, the midfield will be a problem...

Next week we play against Al Maghrib. They had equal ratings yesterday, so it will be close I think...
