Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak is one of the best in his position. In addition, he has already won major titles with the Spanish team, although he still has a thorn in his side: playing in a World Cup with Slovenia.
Oblak is one of the basic pillars in Atletico Madrid's backbone. The Slovenian goalkeeper has established himself in the Atletico goal and has risen to become one of the best in the world in his position.
However, the goalkeeper still has some work to do in terms of his football career. At 28, he has not been fortunate enough to play in a World Cup with his national team, and this time he wants to change his luck.
It is true that Slovenia is a team with a lower level than the rest and qualifying for a World Cup finals would be a great success for the country. However, mathematics gives the Balkans a real chance of reaching Qatar.
To do so, they must first beat Croatia on Tuesday, in what will certainly not be an easy match. They must also hope that Russia drop a point in their remaining matches. Oblak's dream is not an easy one, but the goalkeeper will certainly do everything he can to achieve it.
