Ante Šimundža came back with a victory, but it did not bring euphoria: “Where are we? Fourth. Maribor and fourth place?”
Come, see, celebrate. And stayed with his feet on solid ground. Ante Šimundža makes his coaching debut Maribor, leading the latter on his 100th anniversary Match and beat Mura, the club with which he was also national champion. Krznar’s successor immediately woke up the “sleepy princess of Styria”; Maribor played a good game, the performance was at a much higher level than many before. It ended 3-1 to Maribor, with Jan Repas shining after contributing to all three goals. Young Marcel Lorber also made his debut with a goal and an assist.
“I think we deserved to win. A hard and hard-working race is behind us. We had an idea of how to break through their wear and tear. We’ve done that. In the first five minutes we were still in a bit of a crunch, but then things fell into place. I am happy because the boys’ approach was the right one. They were maximum. We didn’t wait for the energy of the spectators, but we woke up the crowd with our running, our desire and our passion to win. I like that. We scored three times and won,” said Ante Šimundža after the victory over the guests from Murska Sobota.
The former Ludogorets coach added in the same breath that this is just the beginning and there is no room for euphoria: “It’s just one match. There are a lot of things we need to fix and upgrade. We still have a lot to do. There will be no euphoria about this victory. Where are we? Fourth. Maribor and fourth place?“
