Olimpija visited Rogaška Slatina on Saturday, where they clinched another league victory and simultaneously clipped the wings of the hottest team of this year in the Prva liga Telekom Slovenije. The coach of the Dragons, Zoran Zeljković, led his team to a 3:2 triumph, but after the match, the Ljubljana-based coach couldn’t help but express some sharp words about the playing conditions available in Rogaška Slatina.
“Certainly, no one wants to watch such football. Three points are undoubtedly a great result, but I’m disappointed with the game in Rogaška. I don’t understand why we have watering on the stadiums. Everyone involved in this sport should advocate for watchable football. We should all do everything to make it so. I understand the opponent’s tactics, but a completely dry pitch in 2024… Unbelievable!” Zoran Zeljković told the club’s website after the match.
The former coach of NK Krka and Koper continued: “As far as I know, the rule is also that you have to water the pitch before the game. Consequently, the ball moves faster, and the game becomes more attractive. I would like someone to answer this question for me. Rogaška simply doesn’t favor a modern pitch, but they shouldn’t be asked about it. Someone should determine this. I hope someone will see and hear such things and that it will be different next time.“
