Slovenija U21 3 : 0 India U21
It's time for a short update about the U21 team. The team played 3 matches since the age update. We should have won all these matches, but we were very unlucky again against New Zealand. The other 2 matches went fine. The strikers were finally able to score goals again :-)
Yesterday, we had an average rating of 51.2. This is the highest rating since I became U21 coach. We are only in the beginning of the season, so it should be possible to get even higher ratings later on. I believe that Slovenija U21 belongs to the top-40 at the moment, maybe even better. Hopefully we can win more rating points this season. Next week the U21 team plays against Paraguay U21.

Slovenija U21 2 : 1 Malaysia U21
So far so good. Four wins, one draw and only one goal conceded this season :-) The only negative point is that the strikers are still missing too many good chances. Especially Abramovic should score more goals. Please let him know cevap, because he's not listening to me ;-)
Next week we play against a top team: Bulgaria. They play with their U20 team to compensate the difference, so let's see if we have a chance...

Slovenija U21 1 : 0 Ecuador U21
Time for an update about the U21 matches. We had no chance against Bulgaria, even when they were playing with their U20. The other matches were not too bad. We didn't score many goals, but we conceded even less :-) In the last match against Ecuador, the team had an average mark of 53. I belief this is the highest we ever had...
So far this season, Slovenija U21 won 6 matches, played 2 draws and lost only 1 game. Next match is against Azərbaycan U21. They have a higher ranking, so this one will be tough...

It was a bit lucky, but a very nice result against a higher ranked team :-) The 3rd goal was played very well.
Next week against Senegal U21.

Week 14: Nippon U21 (Friendly) 3-1
Week 15: Crna Gora U21 (Friendly)
Week 00: Free
Goal difference: 32:9
I think this was the best season of Slovenija U21 so far. Only one loss! The last match against Nippon we had an average mark of 55.4, the highest ever. The U21 team gained a lot of ranking points this season and is now on the 54. place, the same place as the Slovenian NT (a few seasons ago there was a big gap between Slovenian NT and U21).
Next season will be much harder, because the team will lose a lot of strong 21 year old players. The younger players are not too bad, but they still need some time. Especially up front there will be a slight problem as there are no real strikers for next season :-(
However, rohamkacsa and I were able to maintain a database with plenty of young prospects. There will be enough talented players for the coming seasons.
I decided to quit my job as a U21 coach and I think rohamkacsa is the right candidate for this job. He knows the skills of all the (future) players and he has shown a lot of dedication during his period as a scout. I'm sure he will do the same as U21 coach.

Another win, but very disappointing it was a walkover. I was really curious about the 'new generation' of U21 players...

Slovenija U21 1 : 1 El Salvador U21
average Shooting
solid Passing
very good Defending
It's obvious the problem is the attack for the coming season. Defence and midfield will be allright.
Well, this was my last match as Slovenija U21 coach. We had only 1 loss this season and the team is close to top-50 now. I want to thank rohamkacsa for his work as a scout and I wish him all the best as new U21 coach :-)
