Aleš Arnol satisfied with first half against Celje: ‘I congratulate the players because I know that with this kind of play we will be rewarded with points somewhere else’
Bravo was away on Saturday at Celje, showed a good performance and pretty much tortured the favoured opponent. Celjani scored in the first minute, when Aljosa Matko put the ball into the net. Bravo replied in 44. In the final minute, the last-minute goal was scored by the last-gasp Jakoslav Stanković. Celje secured the win in the second half when Luka Bobičanec realised an 11th-minute penalty, but despite the defeat Aleš Arnol, the coach of Bravo, was not too disappointed after the match.
“We were aware that we could not win the game in Celje by closing space and waiting for counter-attacks. We wanted to play and we did. We created a lot of chances in the first half and it would not have been undeserved if we had been in front at half-time. After the quick goal, we took responsibility and the boys are to be congratulated for their reaction. However, Celjani adapted well later in the game, congratulations to the coach, and attacked us with many long balls behind the line. We ourselves were worse at controlling these passes. Too many times the balls fell on the ground, too many times there was no extra protection. We conceded in this raw element of football, but we still had some very clear-cut chances to equalise again in the final minutes of the game. We are competitors and we don’t enjoy defeats, but today we showed a lot of good things and I believe that if we look like this, we will be rewarded with points in the next matches,” said Brava coach Aleš Arnol after the game in Knez city.
