Celje has taken another big step towards its second title in history after beating Bravo 2-1 at home on Wednesday. The hosts trembled towards the end of the game, but it wouldn’t have been necessary if they had converted at least half of the chances they created in the first half. In that case, a high victory would have been sealed by then. Despite all the missed opportunities, Damir Krznar admitted that he is proud of his team’s performance.
“Three kilometers of opportunities, but the ball just didn’t want to go into the goal. But I am happy. I am happy precisely because we create opportunities. We are constantly in the opponent’s half. We attack, attack, from the first minute. Today we played a ‘comfortable’ game. There was a lot, crossbar, post, we hit everything, even the goalkeeper. The most important thing is that we create opportunities. With numerous opportunities, goals and victories will come. I want to congratulate the team. Regardless of the last 15, 20 minutes, when we lived dangerously, but we survived,” Damir Krznar said for the club’s website.
The former coach of Maribor agrees that this was a big step towards the main goal of the season, which Albert Riera started chasing in Celje… “Absolutely. This is the right game for the champion. Games where you have everything under control and you get the feeling that you can lose it. Games where with the last effort you do everything to hold on until the end. That’s very important. That’s a big thing. Points are important, today we have three on our account. That’s all we wanted from this game,” Damir Krznar admitted.
Damir Krznar: “Aggressively, Firmly”
The Croat still warns that everything is not over yet: “Not even close. As Rozi would say, “it’s not over yet.” The end is far away. In just two and a half or three days, we have another tough game ahead of us. Once again, we will stand authoritatively, as a champion should. We will seek another victory. Aggressively, firmly, we are already thinking about Rogaška. We leave Bravo behind and move forward.”
