Celje visited Radomlje on Tuesday and took another step towards their set goal – the national champion title. The leading team of the Telemach First League predictably defeated the millers. The final score was 4-0 for the visitors, with all goals scored in the second half. David Zec, Tamar Svetlin, Edmilson, and Denis Popović were the goal scorers. Radomlje had several chances, but the visiting goalkeeper, Matjaž Rožman, proved crucial. Damir Krznar, whose Celje increased their lead at the top of the table to +8, had several reasons for satisfaction after the match. But things weren’t as he wished…
“A victory that might seem easy at first glance. Simple. But it definitely wasn’t. We failed to connect two equally good halves. In the first half, we were very stable in defense, took risks in attack, but the opponent couldn’t seriously threaten us. Fortunately, things opened up for us in the continuation, but at 2-0, we started standing too far from the opposing players. That wasn’t good. Well, after 4-0, many would say it was good. And it was. But at the same time, there were shortcomings that need correction. At this moment, all of that was enough for the win, but in terms of the team’s development, I noticed things that bothered me. We’ll work on that,” Damir Krznar stated after the match in Domžale.
Damir Krznar: “I’m really pleased”
The former Maribor coach continued: “If you’re calm, you lack energy. If you have more energy, you lack calmness. It’s hard to find the optimal level. When you score the first goal, you can breathe a bit – of course. Then you can enter the game stronger and with more energy. What pleases me is that after the first goal, we were also looking for the second, third. We wanted to finish the game, and this time, we succeeded. These are the qualities of great teams. This is the right path, and we must build on it.”
