Celje coach Albert Riera hopes and crosses fingers that Aljosa Matko will be back as soon as possible, but admits: ‘He’s not doing well, we’ll pray for him’
Celje continues to deliver a string of good results. The leading club of the Telemach First League hosted bravo on Saturday at their stadium Bravo and beat them 2:1. Celjani scored in the first minute, when Aljoša Matko was among the scorers, who later also got injured. Bravo was brought back into the game by Jakoslav Stanković, who scored before the end of the half. In the second half, Celje regained the lead. This time, Luka Bobičanec scored from the white spot. It was also the winning goal in Match 12. PLT round.
“Good for Bravo,” said Albert Riera after first praising his Ljubljana rival: “It is no coincidence that Bravo is where it is in the rankings. We knew how Bravo plays pressing. It’s no secret. We looked for holes in their defence. Our game is more about passing to the first zone, then to the second zone. Our plan was to make gradual passes from the first zone to the third zone. We knew what our plan was, but sometimes we make mistakes. Sometimes even your opponent forces you to make these mistakes. We are talking about a game that was difficult for both teams. But if you don’t ‘kill’ the game at the start, what happened to us can happen to you. We had several chances to score, but we couldn’t do it. Then Bravo hit. I’m happy with the three points, but I’m also happy with the boys.”
Despite his victory, the Spaniard was not bursting with good humour. Ajoša Matko unintentionally made things rather bad by breaking his foot. It is not impossible that it will rest for weeks, perhaps months. ”It’s working badly. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that he will be absent as little as possible. We will pray for him. Injuries are about luck. Some things in football you can do yourself, but with injuries you need to be lucky to be out as little as possible. I hope it won’t take long, because we need him in the team. We all know how important it is,” said Albert Riera.
