JAKARTA The fierce match between England and Slovenia ended with a score of 0-0 glasses at Cologne Stadium, Cologne, Tuesday, June 25. In this match, Slovenian midfielder Adam Gnezda Cerin, performed brilliantly and was named Vivo Player of the Match.

Cerin's hard work that night earned recognition from the UEFA's Technical Observer Panel. "He worked tirelessly in his role in midfield, closed space and organized the players around him so his team could get a decent draw," said the UEFA Technical Team Panel.

Before the match, Steamerin had shown high confidence, to be able to pick up points from the last Group C match. "Even before the game, we already had everything in our hands. We want to be in this situation, despite facing England. We have told everyone that this team can do it, we can. We entered this match positively, that we can get results that will make us qualify, whatever happens elsewhere," he said.

Cerin explained that his team had analyzed the English game in detail. "We have carefully analyzed their game, seen where they are dangerous and stick to the game's plans very well throughout the game. Except for some situations, they are not so dangerous. But to limit superstar teams like England, it takes a lot of effort and suffering - but we work for each other, running harder for each other. You have to play amazingly against teams like England," he added.

Cerin also recalled the important moments on his team's journey. "Two years ago, we played against Serbia and we lost 4-1 in Belgrade. This is a turning point and since then we have only grown up as a team. This is a process and through this we have built a generation that has achieved something that has never been achieved before. We have been rewarded for our hard work in recent years," said Cerin.

With this result, Slovenia managed to withstand the onslaught of England and showed that they were a countable team at Euro 2024. Cerin's brilliant performance not only led his team to one important point, but also received recognition as the best player in the match.
