Martin Dubravka
Each and every keeper I’ve met in my vocation is an abnormal character – in their have world! He’s a humorous person and one of our most critical gamers. He’s obtained a large amount in his profession and has a good deal of experience from the Premier League. We are very happy to have him.
Peter Pekarik
His mentality and passion for football are astounding. If I get to 37 and nonetheless experience this way about soccer, I’ll be extremely satisfied with myself! Even on days off he’ll be in the health and fitness center and executing his restoration function and he’s at the Euros despite not normally enjoying routinely for Hertha Berlin. I use him an case in point for our youthful players.
Denis Vavro
He was the moment quoted as stating he did not watch substantially soccer when he doesn’t have to – but that’s great. Often it really is better for the mental facet of the video game to retain your job absent from your own lifestyle. But I should add we have watched every single match of the event collectively as a squad and he is been in the area most of the time!
Milan Skriniar
In some cases we enjoy card games in our down time and he and our midfielder Patrik Hrosovsky seem to be to earn all the time. He is played for two of the largest golf equipment in Europe in Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain but I have identified him all my vocation and he’s a normal, humble dude in the squad. Usually laughing, usually joking.
Martin Dubravka has obtained a whole lot in his occupation and provides excellent Leading League working experience
Captain Milan Skriniar is funny and humble even with possessing performed for Inter Milan and PSG
David Hancko
Soon after the Euros he has an superb possibility to go to a quite significant club. He has big likely and he’s also crucial for our nationwide workforce. He can engage in both of those at remaining back and as a remaining-central defender so he’s pretty versatile and has an critical long term ahead of him.
Juraj Kucka
He likes to do nutmegs however very last time he tried it, in a friendly versus Wales in advance of the event, he obtained a whack in the confront and his nose was bleeding, so I am not confident he’ll be trying it towards England! He also speaks exceptional Italian acquiring performed there for nearly 9 a long time.
Stanislav Lobotka
He always looks three or four ways in advance when he performs and you won’t be able to instruct this – gamers both have it or they really don’t. Usually gamers like this stop up turning out to be coaches but I don’t see that with him. He’s way too calm, it is really just fun and passion for him. I are not able to at any time consider him screaming recommendations at a participant, for example. He and I are the greatest golfers in the squad even though he’s overwhelmed me the final two occasions.
Ondrej Duda
Just after a extensive time, I am actually making the most of playing for Slovakia all over again and that is all because of our coach, Francesco Calzona. He’s revealed us what it is to play attacking soccer once more. We have bought no purpose to be stressed about this video game. It’ll be a major celebration of soccer in our nation and we have to enjoy it. We are all extremely relaxed and completely ready for the problem.
Ivan Schranz
He’s an unpredictable participant. Occasionally you would not see him for extended periods of the game but then he’ll rating, as he has twice in the match. He is in the later on phases of his career so I’m definitely content he’s hit this run of kind. With any luck , it can carry on.
Ivan Schranz is unpredictable and has presently scored 2 times in the tournament
Lukas Haraslin can trigger difficulty for England simply because he is incredibly rapid and good at 1-v-1s
David Strelec
He’s pretty a young person with large probable but he has to get the job done more difficult both of those on and off the pitch. If he does that he can realize a large amount but it has to arrive from in. Expertise by itself is not more than enough and I hope David understands this and functions on it sooner rather than later due to the fact his ceiling is superior.
Lukas Haraslin
He can trigger trouble for England for the reason that he is very quick and he has good ability in a person-versus-a person situations. In modern soccer you need to have this since the activity is so quick these days and he has these traits. Let’s hope he can exhibit them in opposition to England.
