Gorica openly aims for Prva liga Telemach, but if it wants to actually advance to the elite, it will need to show much more than it did in the first match of the new season. In Nova Gorica, Rudar visited, and the spectators—about 150 of them—witnessed a thrilling 3:3 draw with attractive goals. Gorica’s coach Nenad Stojaković was understandably not completely satisfied with his team’s performance, particularly with the first half.
“Football is not just about passing and shooting at the goal; it’s much more than that. The opponent was rewarded in the first half because they wanted it more; they took every duel from us. We did not show the character of a home team and did not show that we are the ones who want to achieve our goal. I would like to thank the fans who stayed with us until the end,” Stojaković said on the club’s website.
The Serbian coach was considerably more satisfied with the performance in the second half. If only the second half had counted, Gorica would have deserved more, he emphasized: “In the second half, we changed our approach, brought in two fresh players who added intensity, and we won back many more balls. In today’s football, it’s very hard to beat anyone. The league is a marathon, and we are prepared for that. The boys did not deserve to leave the field with their heads down, and I sincerely congratulate them for the second half. I hope we will earn our luck on another field.”
Young striker Adriano Bloudek, who scored on his debut in the blue-and-white jersey, added after the match against his former club: “We did not expect such a start to the season. Our goal is to win every match, especially in front of our home fans. We did not approach the game as we wanted; the second half was better. We started playing as we do in training and as we desire, but in the end, we conceded a third goal that we should not have allowed. Luck was not on our side, but perhaps it will be next time. It is certainly nice to score on debut for a new club. I hope the season will be successful and that I will score even more goals. After all, that is my job.”
