Maribor concluded the past workweek with a friendly match against Shakhtar, which did not bring them a victory (0:0), but it did bring back their captain. Martin Milec played his first game since last August, and after the match against the Ukrainians, he didn’t hide his satisfaction because the issues that kept him sidelined for an extended period are evidently a thing of the past.
“I am happy to be back. I feel good. What was most important, not feeling any pain, has happened. Everything is okay for now, and I hope it will stay that way in the future. Additionally, I am pleased with the realization of a good game on our part, and understandably, I can be satisfied,” emphasized Martin Milec for the club’s website.
Martin Milec: “Fatigue is noticeable”
The 32-year-old full-back also addressed the winter preparations, during which Maribor is, of course, striving to improve from the performance in the autumn part of the season.
“Perhaps fatigue is a bit more noticeable in my case since I haven’t been in action for a long time. In recent days, I’ve done a lot of additional work with the fitness coach to get back. Understandably, the legs are heavy at this stage; we’ve all completed the preparations as needed. Now the loads will decrease to gain freshness before the championship. When we are fresher, I believe we will more easily reach the opponent’s goal, create more opportunities, score, and I believe a successful spring awaits us,” concluded Martin Milec, who has already played an impressive 199 matches in the Prva Liga Telemach.
