Ažbe Jug stabs Olimpija before the eternal derby: “We know we are the best team in the league! And we want the stadium to be full. Our celebration will be even sweeter…”
Sunday will be the day for
the eternal derby
where Maribor will try to spoil the party
Olimpija
. The Ljubljana side have a 12-point lead just before the end of the season, and even if Maribor were to win at Stožice, it’s hard to believe that the Dragons could squander what they’ve gained. This is one of the reasons why Ljudski vrt is already looking towards next season. Goalkeeper Ažbe Jug believes that the team will be more successful than the current one, but he is also convinced that no one will be able to match Maribor if the team stays together more often than not.
That they would stay together is hard to believe. Žan Vipotnik, for whom “half of Europe” is clamouring, will certainly leave, and so will some of those who have shown the most in this competition year. Perhaps also Ažbe Jug? There was already some interest in Azerbaijan and the MLS in the winter.
The bond has never been stronger
“I would like our team to stay the same, because in that case nobody could compete with us in the new season,” said Ažbe Jug at the press conference before the eternal derby. The goalkeeper added: “We have assembled a quality team and we have forged a bond that has never been forged in the last three years that I have been in Maribor. That is why I want the core to remain the same, to continue the story. However, we have some individuals who will be difficult to keep. And that’s where the job of sports director comes in…”
If they are the right ones, the result will be positive
As for the Olimpija game, Ažbe Jug has no doubts that his team will put on a good performance in the biggest stadium in Slovenia: “The biggest game in Slovenia is upon us. Every player wants to play in a match like this once. I hope that Stožice will be full, as Ljudski vrt is always full, and that will give us extra motivation. I think we are ready for such matches. We are in great shape, as we saw in the last round when we hosted Koper. I repeat, I want a full stadium to make our celebration sweeter… We have our own philosophy of the game. We know how we want to play. If we are right, the result will be positive. I know we are the best team in the league. I don’t even look at the opponent.”
