Jan Mlakar he played as a starter for the first time in a European championship. For him, 75 not too exciting minutes in the 1-1 draw in Stuttgart between Slovenia and Denmark.
This time Slovenian coach Matjaz Kek brought Mlakar back to midfield again playing wide on the left in a 4-4-2. Some smudges and a few flashes. La Gazzetta dello Sport rates him with a 5.5 on his report card. This is what the Milanese newspaper writes: “Mlakar 5.5: wide on the left, he doesn’t enter the game much and in the first half he is among those who suffer the most”.
In fact, Slovenia had gone behind in the 17th minute of the first half with a somewhat historic goal scored by Christian Eriksen. In fact, on 12 June 2012, in the debut match of the traveling European Championship, the Danish midfielder suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark-Finland.
The final 1-1 for Slovenia came in the 32nd minute of the second half thanks to left back Janza. Meanwhile Mlakar he had been replaced two minutes earlier by Celar. In the other Group C match, England beat Serbia 1-0 with a header from Bellingham. Mlakar’s Slovenia will return to the field on Thursday 20 June Monk, 3pm, against Serbia. In a match that is already fundamental for going through to the next round.
Today at 3pm, again in Munich, there is Romania-Ukraine valid for group C with the Nerazzurri Marius Marin and Adrian Ruswho will return to Pisa after the failure of the Cypriots of Pafos, possible protagonists with the Romanian national team coached by Iordanescu.
