Interview med Jan Oblak, professionel fodboldspiller

Today we have Jan Oblak with us and him and I are going around some questions I have about him, his career and his family.

Hello Jan, can you start telling us a bit about yourself. What do you do for a living? How old are you? Where are you from? How long have you done what you’re doing?

Of course, I’m a goalkeeper in football who plays for Atletico Madrid. I’m 188cm tall. I’m 28 years old. I’m from Slovenia, Skofja Loka, a quaint mountain town and I’ve been playing football since I was 5-6 years old.

Thanks.

So, to move this on how did you start playing football?

My mom and my sister have always done something with their hands. My mom is a retired amateur-handball player, my dad is a former goalkeeper, and my sister is a professional basketball player. So, I’ve always been destined to something with my hands, and started playing football when I was 5-6 years old. When I was eight or nine then once at half-time at one of my dad’s games during the winter my sister and I would often play football. She’s three years older than me and good at football, therefore she would shoot, and I’d go in goal. I was diving left and right and making saves, and someone from Olimpija Ljubljana noticed me and invited me to join them. They’re the biggest club in Slovenia, so as a kid that made me very happy.
