Slovenian football is all about Monday’s final Euro 2024 qualifying match, but clubs from Telemach First League are, of course, speeding up their preparations for what awaits them at the end of 2023. Maribor will play its first game after the national team break on Thursday, when it will visit Ajdovščina. The Styrian club will play Primorje in the round of 16 of the Pivovarna Union Cup final, and coach Ante Šimundža revealed that he is not completely free of personnel worries, even if they are not too big.
“It is good to know that Vrhovec survived the unfortunate fall without any major consequences and is gradually stepping up his activities. Iličić, who had ankle problems in the meantime, is also back to work. We know that Milec, Sikošek and Feta will be absent for a while, so except Pihler, who will get an adaptation programme, all the expected candidates are already with the team.,” said Ante Šimundža for club website , who also explained that three juniors also joined the national team’s training during the break.
“Due to the smaller number of participants, Tine Čuk, Brin Horvat and Lanej Bakšič joined the training. The involvement of young people remains a constant and the cooperation with the football school is one of the important factors, so we will continue with a similar orientation in the future, which is welcome for the boys. Especially in terms of accepting automatisms and principles,“, continued the first man of the vijolični, who refuses to take the upcoming away game at a club from the 2nd SNL with his left hand.
“We want to confirm our progression to the next round of the cup competition, then continue with the postponed championship match. We have a full programme until 16. December, during which you can’t skip steps. So let’s move forward step by step, with full focus only on the first game that follows,” added Ante Šimundža, who recently replaced Damir Krznar at Ljudski vrt.
