Outrage in Slovenia: Kojzek's change to Austria ensures turmoil!

Österreich, Land - The nomination of Erik Kojzek for the U21 national national team of Austria causes excitement in Slovenia. The 19-year-old player, who plays for the WAC and scored ten goals last season, was appointed to the team by team boss Peter Perchtold for test games against Latvia and Hungary. However, the joy of the nomination is overshadowed by a major hurdle: Kojzek is born in Slove and has so far not achieved citizenship or entitlement to the game for Austria, which is expected to exclude him in the coming games. According to [Laola1.at] (https://www.laola1.at/de/fussball/oefb-nationalteam/u21-team/slowenien-coach-mit-kojzek-ab-denke-nicht-Mehr-Me-Mehr-Mei-Mehr-Mehr-MeiT-Mei-Mehr-Meit-MeiT-Meit-Meit-Meit-Meit-Meit-Meit.

Milenko Acimovic, the director of the Slovenian national team, critically commented on the decision of Kojzek to play for Austria, and expressed his conviction that players were supposed to fight for their home country. Kojzek's absence is perceived by U21 team boss Andrej Razdrh as extremely frustrating. He emphasizes that the months of preparation by the injuries and absence of further important service providers are severely affected.

obstacles and emigration

The reasons for the absence of Kojzek and other important players such as David Flakus Bosilj, Marce Ratnik and Marko Ristic are diverse. Injuries, contract negotiations and a struggle for ascent in Spain's second division make the situation of the U21 team difficult. Razdrh has indicated that he thought the matter with Kojzek has been completed after he had deregistered through agents and did not personally told that he wanted to play for Austria. Furthermore, Slovenian media no longer respond to inquiries to Kojzek, who has apparently withdrawn from the public.

Since other national teams and their players also suffer from similar challenges, the question of citizenship and their importance in football becomes increasingly relevant. According to leopoldstoeger.com, in many cases the citizenship of the country for which a player plays is crucial for the eligibility. Players with a double citizenship have the opportunity to play for the country where a grandparent was born. These regulations raise questions, since more and more players and trainers will be appointed without a clear connection to a country in the representative squad.

The Austrian Association (ÖFB) hopes despite the challenges of Kojzek that this may receive the necessary game authorization from FIFA until the next course in September. Coach Ralf Rangnick has already had positive conversations with Kojzek and sees potential in the young player. Another moment of hope for Kojzek is that it was also called in the U21 selection of Slovenia, which is prepared for the European Championship in Slovakia in June.

The case of Erik Kojzek raises far -reaching questions about identity and expectations in international football. The debate about nationality and belonging to a national soccer team is not only pursued in these two countries, but also worldwide.
