Celje coach Roman Pilipchuk flattered after Olimpija game: ‘We didn’t deserve to lose this time! We should have scored, and we should have scored more…”
It outplayed Olimpija, especially in the second half, and lost. Roman Pilipchuk was unlucky on Wednesday. Or maybe he was unlucky that Olimpija had such a playful goalkeeper in goal. Matevž Vidovšek was brilliant. Roman Pilipchuk was also unlucky in that his players did not have a shooting inspired day. Notwithstanding Vidovšek’s excellent defending, Celje had more than enough chances so ripe that the ending could have been completely different.
“We didn’t deserve to lose,” he said after the showdown in the capital.

Roman Pilipčuk told the club’s website. But the Ukrainian has enough experience to know that it can’t be otherwise, if… “If you don’t score, you can’t win. We had twice as many chances as our opponents, but failed to score. The result is defeat.”
This is football too
Roman Pilipčuk went on to admit that he was not satisfied with the first half, and then described what he changed to make the second half so much better: “In the second half, we added one last midfielder to prevent Olimpija from passing through the middle, where they are most dangerous. We also sent in a striker who was able to keep most of the balls, while attacking well in the space behind the opponents’ back line of defence. This gave us control of the game and, as a result, a large number of chances. You should get multiple hits from these. In football, only goals count. This time, we were worse in this segment of the game. But that’s football. Let us move forward with our heads held high.“
