The Slovak national football team under the age of 21 will play the home beat of the ME 2023 qualification on Tuesday.
At 4 pm, they will welcome favored Spanish peers in Žilina, whom they have really tormented on their soil, but in the end they lost 2: 3. Last week, they tuned in to a victory over Northern Ireland 2: 1, Spain declassified Lithuania 8: 0.
In the opening match in October, the young Slovaks led 1: 0 and 2: 1 with goals by Ján Bernát and Filip Lichý, but at the very end of regular time, they collected from two eleven.
“We’re going to build on that match in Spain. The boys have tried it out for everyone to play with. We were close to winning there and I believe we will build on the first half performance against Northern Ireland and we will regenerate well.” said coach Jaroslav Kentoš.
His charges reckon with the fact that they will have to run a lot against the C-group leader without the ball. “It’s going to be a diametrically different match, we know Spanish football. We know they hold the ball for a very long time, they’re going to be very good and dominant on the ball. We have to focus on a little different things, we have to be able to stand up to them. We have nothing to lose, we can only gain. But we definitely have to be more efficient. “ added midfielder Jakub Kadák, who decided on Friday’s victory with a converted eleven.
In the event of a triumph, the Slovak Twenty-One can withdraw the deficit to Spain for a difference of three points. It has a six-point lead over Malta and Northern Ireland, but it is questionable what the table will look like after the decision of the European Football Union (UEFA).
For the invasion of Ukraine, it temporarily suspended Russia, which was in second place and scored three points more in six duels than Slovakia in seven appearances. The winners of nine groups and the best team from the second places will advance directly to the championship. The remaining eight teams from the second places will share the remaining four seats in the playoffs.
