Slovakia remains at zero. He resisted the big favorite until the end of the match
The battle to advance to the semifinals of the European Championship 2022 under 19, which are taking place in Slovakia, no longer concerns us. The “Falcons” did not even make the second appearance at the domestic championship and their goals were narrowed down to a fight for the final third place in the A-group with the Romanians, which would move young Slovaks to the playoffs for participation in the 2023-20 years in Indonesia.
On Tuesday evening, it definitely managed to seal the Italian national team. Although she confirmed the paper assumptions, she eventually won, as in the first match against the Romanians, the closest possible difference.

Better than against the French, so the disappointment is even greater
That is also why the trustees of coach Albert Rusnák st. they were all the more sorry, as they showed a significantly better performance on Tuesday than on Saturday in the 0: 5 debacle with the French. “In my opinion, we played a pretty good match,” said midfielder Dominik Hollý, “In the first half, the Italians had two crossbars and then they gave us a goal after our loss of the ball. Too bad we couldn’t take our chances in the first half. “
“After the change of sides, we played very well, so it is a pity that we did not score at least a goal and did not play a draw. Well, I have to say that it was better for us than France, ” thinks the 18-year-old player of the Trenčín AS.

The defender of Jakub Luka was angry that the players with the double cross on their jerseys could not score again and in the second match in a row they came out empty-handed. “We lacked success in the ending. We worked out promising chances and couldn’t turn them. The opponent had maybe two or three, he converted one of them into a goal, won 1: 0 and that’s bad luck for us, “ he sighed.
According to him, the Italians were playable. At the end of the match, they even had to worry that their home team would take away the victory.
“In the end, we went a bit into the risk and we also changed the layout. It worked out for us and it’s a pity we didn’t score a goal, “ Dominik Hollý, who was followed by the tracker Jakub Luka, admitted: “I think that the Italians also found out that it would not be easy with us and they preferred to get stuck. We were definitely more aroused too, we wanted to score a goal and get at least a point. ”

Their fans were surprised
After Saturday’s beating of young Slovaks, it was generally expected that no more fans would come to Trnava for the next match. In the end, the players were surprised, as almost 8,500 spectators headed for the stands of Anton Malatinský’s stadium, who created a really great backdrop for the youngsters in blue jerseys. Especially in the end, when everyone felt that Slovakia could still hit.
“We did not expect so many fans to come. Nobody expected that and we thought that even fewer of them would come than on Saturday. There were really enough of them. Thank you very much for that, “ said Dominik Hollý with a sad look on his face.
“The atmosphere was great. Personally, I have not experienced so many fans in the match. I would like to thank them in this way. Not only those who came to this match, but also against France. Thank you for your support, ” added 18-year-old Jakub Luka.

Against the Romanians for everything
After losing to the French and Italians, it is definitely clear that if Slovakia wants to consider a chance to get to the World Cup 2023 in 20 years, then it has nothing left but to beat Romania on Friday (at 5:30 pm in Trnava). Our closest opponent lost to France on Tuesday night, to which, like the Italian, he lost 1: 2.
Slovak players realize that it will be a match for everything. “It will be so. We still have the opportunity to play a draw for the World Cup and if we manage the match with the Romanians, we are still in the game, “ Jakub Luka burcows, “It may be a little easier to motivate them against them, because the match with Italy has shown us that we can play football even with such strong opponents. The motivation will definitely be, because we want to fight for participation in the World Cup. “
“Every team that has made it to this tournament is of great quality. The Romanians have a dangerous trio of players in front. We will have to be very careful about them, “ added a tall stopper from Ružomberok. Dominik Hollý sees it the same way: “We have no choice but to pursue victory. We will go full throttle. “
