Bravo surprised everyone on Thursday evening: first and foremost Zrinjski, who expected an easier task, and also the public in Bosnia and Herzegovina, who predicted a home win, as well as Slovenian football enthusiasts. But Bravo is simply Bravo, a club that always plays best when it’s not the favorite. In Mostar, the team from Ljubljana celebrated with a 1-0 victory, making an important step towards advancing, although coach Aleš Arnol emphasizes that there’s no room for euphoria.
“We are proud of what we’ve accomplished, but only half of the match is behind us. We’re returning to Ljubljana, to our home ground, to our home ŽAK. If we want to advance, we will need to play almost perfectly,” said Aleš Arnol after the win, which was secured for Bravo by teenager Matic Ivanšek.
The coach of Ljubljana continued for the club’s official website: “We expected a tough match and we got it. A real European match is behind us. I am extremely happy with the maturity of the team, as the match had to be played in two ways. We tried to take advantage of the moments when we pressed the opponent and got behind their back line. We wanted to use our speed. In the second half, we had to stay in the block and perform all tasks extremely precisely, aggressively, and actively enough to avoid too many crosses or shots from their side. Zrinjski offered us some space for dangerous actions in the second half, but unfortunately, after winning the ball, we couldn’t calm the game and turn it to the other side. As I said, a tactically extremely demanding match, and adaptation was crucial today for us to achieve an excellent result before the return match.”
