Between the poles, we could obviously have chosen Gianluigi Donnarumma, the goalkeeper of Italy, absent from the 2022 World Cup.
This time, we preferred to plebiscite Jan Oblak. Because the Slovenian has been one of the best goalkeepers in the world for years. Unfortunately for him, in selection, the refrain remains the same according to the major tournaments: Slovenia is not well enough collectively adorned to hope to cross a level.
The qualifications, the Slovenians finished them in 4th place, behind Croatia, Russia and Slovakia. Insufficient to hope for a 1st World Cup since 2010.
At 29, Oblak will therefore have to wait a little longer before discovering a World Cup. And slowly, we tell ourselves that the clock is starting to tick.
