On Saturday, the Slovenian National Championship will kick off the 14th round, which will culminate on Sunday when Celje takes on Olimpija at 15:00. This match will feature the last two Slovenian champions and will be a genuine Spanish duel. Celje is led by Albert Riera, while the Ljubljana side is managed by his fellow countryman Victor Sanchez.
Albert Riera is brimming with confidence ahead of his reunion with his former club, and his gaze is already set on the future. The controversial coach from Majorca is convinced that Celje will be the national champion regardless of the outcome of this match in the capital.
Albert Riera: “I think Celje is better than Olimpija”
“No one has been a champion in November. It’s about winning titles, not just matches. Regardless of what happens this time, we will be champions in May,” Albert Riera confidently stated to the Spanish newspaper AS, adding before facing the Ljubljanans: “I think Celje is better than Olimpija. However, we must prove this on the pitch.”
For the club’s website, Albert Riera stated ahead of the visit from the dragons of the Slovenian capital: “We are the current national champions, and I believe we will show a performance befitting that on Sunday. Against Olimpija, we want to demonstrate that we are better with the ball at our feet and without it in possession, ultimately aiming for victory and three points.“
