Damir Krznar believed Jakupovic would score, but praised the 19-year-old: Marcel Lorber was the only one who did what needed to be done
Differdange already had the scalp of Maribor in its hands. But then someone other than Arnel Jakupović came on the scene and confirmed: when you’re good at football, you’re just good at it.“Everyone on the bench believed he could score when we were waiting for a free kick,” he told
for the club’s website
Damir Krznar, the coach of the Styrian giant, said after the match. But even though Arnel Jakupović saved Maribor from defeat with a masterfully executed free kick, Damir Krznar was not satisfied with everything. Not by chance. After the game, he is frank
spoke about his dissatisfaction
but he does not want to make too much of the Luxembourg draw.
“No, we really won’t make a drama out of this result. The smart ones learn from their mistakes and this game had a lot of mistakes. Against a team that aggressively attacks you, you need to show more strength in your duels. That is what we have been missing and I hope it will not cost us. Every team in Europe has a few players who can cause problems. But then the team has to identify two, three individuals and shut them down, stop them. We have not found a solution against Castro, a physically strong attacker. We did not manage to commit an offence and return to our block. Too many times we managed to hold on, to put the ball away. For players who are good one-on-one, you have to be behind their back, while having the help of a teammate to attack from the opposite side. Unfortunately, Marcel Lorber was the only one to do so,“, Damir Krznar praised the only 19-year-old Maribor player.
