Last week we spoke to Bostjan Granfol, captain of the Slovenian national minifootball champions.
This week we find out about how they won the tournament and what his plans are for the future.
You had some key players in your success. Tell us about the impact of your defence?
“As I mentioned , it was our defence that day the best , so Marko Balažič [note : Brother Gregor will made his debut last Tuesday against Canada for the first time to the senior national football team], earned the title of best player of the tournament. When it is in the box even the goalkeeper, Uros Kolmanič, which until then really I have never seen play so well, despite his youth , then the team just needs to work well . ”
What is the biggest after this success?
“Success has brought us greater visibility, but otherwise is with us all the same. The success of us only even closer, but we are aware that we can achieve the best results. ”
After winning the title, is your desire to win bigger?
“Every game we play as an individual In every game you go to win , but if the opponent is better, then we lose as well in the right spirit too. Continue to operate as a team that enjoys playing football. If we win, it is just so much better. ”
National Championship for minifootball is a new, unique format of the competition in the country. How do I see this project and its future?
The national championships are superb, which may be any non-professional footballer is proud to play in it, because everybody can attend. It can be seen that the project is new and has yet to be accomplished. Is it obvious difference, because since last year much has shifted for the better. As for the future , I think we should all of Slovenia next step and help futsal Association of Slovenia in the realization of desires and needs , because he sees that the people who currently run by the Association of recreationists are working . Nevertheless, I think it is a sport that was developed in Slovenia, so that this organization can get more support from all sides of Slovenia. ”
At work, there were some new teams. How do you rate this year’s competition?
“The competition was good. She felt the nervousness of new teams and I am pleased that as many Champions associations or leagues decided to get to the state championship. I believe that competition is stiffer each year , so that we can look forward to next year. ”
October the minfootball team of Slovenia performed at miniEURU 2013 in Greece , a player from the ranks of the national champion was not in it. How so?
“Yes, I followed team in the championship, and unfortunately none of us could attend. I guess the problem is in the period, four players play football in Austria in smaller leagues; we still have some work and family. ”
Next time will you enter the championships?
We will try, with the same passion, with the same crowd and the same fire as the car for two years in a row . “
