Oblak: The Slovenian Wall Returns Huge to Atlético
Jan Oblak, our captain and star goalkeeper, has completed a memorable performance with the Slovenian national team, proving once again why he is considered one of the best in the world. In the decisive match against Slovakia, Oblak was fundamental in securing Slovenia’s stay in League B of the Nations League.
In the first leg, played in Bratislava, Oblak kept a clean sheet with spectacular saves, frustrating Slovakian forwards time and again. His performance was crucial for the final 0-0 result. The return leg in Ljubljana was even more exciting, going to extra time thanks to Oblak’s providential interventions.
The Slovenian commentator raved about his performance. With six crucial saves, including five from inside the box, Oblak became an insurmountable wall. His coach, Kek, described him as “the best in the world”, while the rival coach, Calzona, recognized his enormous quality.
A banner from young fans summed it up perfectly: “Your gloves are my dream.” Now, Oblak returns to Atlético at a key moment in the season. After a campaign where he has been capital, with saves that are worth points, he focuses on the two great goals that still remain: La Liga and the Copa del Rey. His superlative level and leadership are crucial to aspire to the maximum. With Oblak in goal, we can trust that we will fight to the end!
