Kristjan Kozar has had a busy summer. Initially, he agreed to join Olimpija, but after changes in the youth development leadership, he decided not to sign the contract. He then signed with Bravo in Šiška, and the club has already registered him as their new member. However, the 16-year-old striker soon returned to Bilje. He didn’t feel comfortable in Ljubljana, and Bravo generously allowed him to quickly return to his home environment.
Kristjan Kozar will continue his development in the Bilje jersey, where it is clear that they are counting on him. This is evidenced by the fact that in Saturday’s first match of the new season in 2. SNL, the new Bilje coach Žiga Pahor included him in the senior team. The teenager started the match on the bench during the away game in Tolmin, but came on in the 87th minute, replacing the scorer of the only goal, Thomas Breganti.
Although his debut was brief, even a few minutes on the senior stage is a significant achievement at his age. How things will develop in the future remains to be seen, but Kristjan Kozar has evidently found a coach in Žiga Pahor who will try to further refine the undeniable talent that lies within the feet of this gifted young player.
