The first round of the new season in Prva liga Telemach will conclude tonight with an evening match between Celje and Bravo. The Štajerci will attempt to start their title defense with a win, and coach Damir Krznar emphasized that the league title is not the only trophy they aim to win in the 2024/25 competitive year. Celje also dreams of winning the cup, which the club from the princely town last won in 2005.
“Celje’s goals are always high. The fight for the championship title is the first. We want to repeat last season and stay at the top. The second goal is certainly the cup competition, where the club has not been in a position to compete for this trophy for some time. We definitely want to win both trophies. In the first round, we face a dangerous opponent. Both teams are competing in Europe, which is good in one way as it allows for analysis, but on the other hand, it is problematic because there is not much time for recovery. Bravo is always a tough opponent. There will be some rotations again, but we definitely want to start successfully. We have depth and quality. We are satisfied with the transfer window as we have successfully covered the positions we wanted,” said Damir Krznar ahead of the clash with Ljubljančani.
Celje midfielder Tamar Svetlin added before the match against his former club: “Last season we won the championship, and in the upcoming one, we want to repeat that. Considering last season’s failure and quick exit from the cup, we want to improve our impression, and given our ambitions, we must strive for the double crown. However, it will certainly be more difficult this year as our closest pursuers are stronger. It will undoubtedly be tough, but we believe we can succeed. The first opponent will be Bravo, which showed last season what a quality team they are. They have retained the core of the team. We respect Bravo and must go into this match with full strength, without underestimating them, as they are a team worthy of respect.”
