Aleksandar Radosavljević could breathe a sigh of relief last weekend. After long, long months, Koper celebrated a league victory on home soil again! The negative streak didn’t start with the former national team midfielder, but Aleksandar Radosavljević also needed quite some time to “break the spell”. Now he has succeeded, with his victim being a club he once played for – Mura. Koper won the postponed match at home with 2:1, and Aleksandar Radosavljević was understandably satisfied after the game.
“You could see how much was at stake in the match,” said Aleksandar Radosavljević after the game, where Enej Jelenič and Bede Osuji scored for Koper, and added: “We were without a victory at home for a very, very long time. Mura is also in a tough spot – fighting to stay in the league. Both teams desperately needed three points, and that was more than obvious on the field.”
The performance of either side wasn’t brilliant, but when you’re in a crisis, the result matters most. And for the Primorje side, it was a positive one. “I think we deserved the win. We had the game under control, except for the last few minutes when we conceded a goal and then had to endure a bit. I really have to commend my players. It wasn’t easy for them, they found themselves in a challenging situation. Despite everything, they showed that they are a team and performed well for 90 minutes,” emphasized Aleksandar Radosavljević, who believes that the future will be brighter after the victory over the club from Murska Sobota.
Radosavljević: “We Desperately Needed It”
“The fact is that we achieved a result that we desperately needed. Perhaps we deviated from some of our ideas and plans in our desire for three points, but when you’re chasing a result, it’s justifiable. Thank God, we finally got a home win,” said 44-year-old Aleksandar Radosavljević and added: “It will certainly be easier now. But ultimately, it’s important to know that there have been a lot of changes in the winter. A new coaching staff has arrived, and there are quite a few new faces. It’s perfectly normal that after such changes, you need time as well.”
Koper will play their next game on Saturday, facing another trip to Ljubljana. Not long ago, they defeated Olimpija in Šiška and eliminated them from the cup, and now they’ll play in the renovated Stožice. “Clearly, regardless of everything, Olimpija is the favorite. After all, they are ahead of us in the standings… But our mentality at the moment is clear: we take it game by game. We’ll try to prepare as best as we can, and then our goal will be clear: to achieve a favorable result,” concluded Aleksandar Radosavljević.
