Domžale surprisingly defeated Celje last weekend, simultaneously launching another youngster into the senior football orbit. Luka Dovžan Karahodžić started a top-tier match for the first time in his career and justified the trust of coach Dušan Kosić with a solid performance.
The teenager, who is the son of former Slovenian skier Alenka Dovžan and former hockey representative Ervin Karahodžić, admitted that he thoroughly enjoyed his baptism of fire in the starting eleven of the yellow team.
“Before the game, I felt great, with the desire to make the most of the opportunity. I felt a bit of positive tension before the game, but once it all started, I really enjoyed being on the field. I am more than satisfied with my performance, especially with the defensive part of the game. I believe I could have added more in attack, but after such a match, I feel even more motivated for the next games,” confessed Luka Dovžan Karahodžić to the club’s website.
The teenager, who missed last year’s European Youth Championship in Hungary due to injury, added: “The match seemed very tough to me because we know that Celje is at the top of the table. With my teammates, we gave our all because, in such matches, you have nothing to lose. We approached the game with an all-or-nothing mentality, which paid off in the end.“
