Even if others don’t, he will be proud
The expert from Ukraine, who has had a turbulent season with “several changes of media”, continued:”We’ve changed our game plan a little. We added two last midfielders to close the middle to the opponents. We have also put extra emphasis on our defence. In short, we have started to play football that we know will bring us points. But we still have a lot to spare. We can be better, we want to be better. But we need time.”
Celje will say goodbye to the 2022/23 season in Ljubljana, where it will face the reigning champions. “We still have a week to play Olimpija. First, we will rest and then prepare for the match against the Ljubljanaers as we do for every game. Even if we don’t finish second, I’m proud of my boys and happy with their performance this season. But with the entire professional staff, we are confident and believe that we can take the final second place in the rankings,” concluded Roman Pilipčuk.
