Last weekend, in the 32nd round of the national championship, Radomlje and Mura also faced each other, with the guests from Murska Sobota triumphing over Domžale with a score of 2:1. For the home team, Uroš Korun scored, while Amadej Maroša and Robert Čakš netted for the visitors. Black-and-white coach Anton Žlogar was not too dissatisfied after the victory, which boosted their confidence ahead of the cup semifinal – Mura will face Rogaška at home on Thursday.
“We started the match well, were aggressive in the opponent’s half, took the ball away, and scored a goal. Then we subconsciously retreated too much and were too passive. We made too many technical mistakes, although the pitch was not suitable for playing, and then we conceded a goal from the first real shot towards our goal. At halftime, we discussed what needed to be corrected, the goal was to win the match. That’s why we sent in another forward, which paid off for us. To sum it up, we deservedly won a tough match,” emphasized the expert from Izola and added: “Congratulations to the boys, the victory is important primarily in terms of confidence and the league itself. From day one, I’ve emphasized that we need to secure our league survival first, and now we can focus on the cup match.”
Žlogar: “I wish we could play six more matches”
“I’m taking it game by game; we’re doing well in terms of survival, but it’s not mathematically confirmed yet. The primary goal is to collect as many points as possible until the end of the season. The next match is in the cup, so we are focusing on that challenge now. There are still four rounds left until the end of the season, at least one cup match, but we’d like to play six more matches,” former Slovenian international reflected after the victory over the millers.
Anton Žlogar was also pleased that the victory over Radomlje was contributed to by players from the bench or those who may not have played much before, and that Kai Cipot returned after a long absence: “I saw a lot of desire to prove themselves; they were waiting for this opportunity. At one point, we had nine injured players, many of these guys were injured, and we played every three days. So, there was no chance to get to know all the boys, no chance to bring them back in preparatory matches. This time we were forced to have Kai play 90 minutes after eight months. Congratulations to the boys, the championship is long, everyone gets a chance, and the pitch is the best measure to confirm or reject the coach’s ideas. I’m glad that everyone who got a chance this time contributed to the victory.“
