“Laci is with us for a short time and I especially appreciate that they can perceive all things very quickly and with quality. Building cooperation between players takes some time, and it is very important to me that it fits in perfectly well. We were able to rely on him in the transition phase and in the end he was in several offensive actions, which ended in a goal. It is a very necessary impulse for me in the future, ” declares Tarkovič, who, however, expects even more from a 22-year-old shapely finisher.

We will complete the entire training on Sunday and before the match we will deal with whether or not it will be available. Marek decided to go to the match and I am very happy that he showed his character as well as the whole team. The boys want the best possible performances for Slovakia and sometimes they go to the point of injury. It is very advantageous for me that he decided the way he did and finally helped the team, “said a native of Prešov.

He doesn’t want to argue
Štefan Tarkovič about something easy, as Slovakia presented itself in a serious sympathetic impression on serious Croatia. “The match fulfilled what he had. The chance before the match was theoretical and I also told the players in the cabin that today it was something other than the result, ” he thought.
Slovakia will reduce its chances, especially in the March hesitations with Cyprus (0: 0) and Malta (2: 2), but according to the national team coach, there were more reasons. However, as he said, they do not intend to argue.
“If I evaluated each one at a time separately, there would be more of those reasons. I stand by what I said already in November, when I came to the team – Slovakia is limited by the possibilities it has, “ Tarkovic claims.
