Zlatko Zahovič, Slovenia National Team FIFA 2002

After a week or even more i come back to my blog to add a new post - but what a post! Here is the shirt of Zlatko Zahovič - the best Slovenia national team player in history - match worked during the match against Spain in the FIFA Worldcup 2002 played in Gwangju (South Korea) on 2.6.2002. That was the only match played by Zlatko. Srecko Katanec (Slovenian coach at the time) put him out of the match in the 63' for Milenko Acimovic. That thing cause the 'Šmarna gora' case. Zlatko goes back to Slovenia right after that match (we loose 2:1) and this was also the end of the 'Zlata generacija (gold generation)' players. After the Worldcup Katanec end with the Slovenia national team coaching and Zlatko comes back in the team. This shirt is unique and represent one of the best and at the same time most turbulent era in Slovenia football history. Is also the first shirt with the shape of the Triglav mountain on it. Uhlsport made a great job with the shirt.
