Mura visited Kidričevo in the 24th round of the Prva liga Telemach, where they had to concede defeat to the home team. Aluminij proved to be a considerably strong opponent for the rather modest and lackluster Prekmurje team this time. The home team soared on the wings of Tin Matić and won with a score of 2:0. Meanwhile, the team under the new coach, Anton Žlogar, deepened their crisis. The Prekmurje side has yet to secure a victory in the ongoing season. Although they collected four points in four matches, a significant portion of them is credited to an incident that occurred in the match against Maribor. Anton Žlogar attributed the current loss to a poor twenty-minute performance in the second half.
“The fact is that we played a good first half, but then there were incomprehensible 20 minutes in the continuation when we were punished from Aluminij’s first real opportunity,” lamented the expert from Izola after the match in Kidričevo.
Anton Žlogar: “It’s hard to keep the pace”
Anton Žlogar, who replaced Vladimir Vermezović on Mura’s bench, continued: “We had several opportunities on the other side, but for the second time in a row, we couldn’t score. We received two and scored none; that’s not good. We create opportunities, but apparently, we lack the quality of individuals who should convert them. The fact is that the game could have gone the other way… But it ended as it did. We are aware of the situation we are in, and it is also true that our problems are recurring. We are also patching up the team with players in positions where they are not most comfortable. It is also challenging to maintain the pace throughout 90 minutes… Confidence is undermined, leading to incomprehensible drops. Despite the defeat, there were some good things. We have to continue working hard.”
In the next round of the national championship, Mura will face Olimpija, and before that, they have a cup match against Čarda Martjanci, which they should win at all costs. “The first thought is definitely on the cup. Before this match, I told the guys that we are at a turning point: either we will fight for Europe or with those who are behind. However, we did not play the game as we wanted… Now we have the cup ahead of us, the goal is clear – the quarterfinals. We are only interested in winning,” concluded Anton Žlogar.
