Olimpija 1. Celje 1. And everything remains the same; at least when it comes to the battle for the title. However, public opinion is clear: Olimpija was better and deserved the victory more. Celje didn’t perform as well as expected. That’s precisely why Damir Krznar, the coach of the leading team in the Prva liga Telemach, was very dissatisfied after the match in Stožice. He was even angry.
“I’m trying to use the time that has passed since the end of the match to calm down, but I’m still angry. Angry because it seems like we came for a point, which is not true. We came for a win, and we are not satisfied. We had the victory in our hands, suffered at times, had opportunities from counterattacks that we wanted to provoke. They gave us a chance to decide the match, but we failed. In the end, we conceded where we are strongest, a set piece. This has worked well until this moment. We conceded a goal and then didn’t defend the point but started to press. After the conceded goal, we began to show what we wanted from the first minute,” Damir Krznar told the club’s website.
The expert from neighboring Croatia, after the showdown in Ljubljana, where just under 4000 spectators gathered, added: “When I look for positive things, and I always do, I am most pleased that we are not satisfied. It’s a big thing not to be satisfied after a 1:1 in Stožice. We are not satisfied because we were leading, but a pinch of courage was missing. If we had managed to raise the defensive line higher, it could have looked much better, and we could have sought the second goal. The points difference remains the same, but whether it’s 7 or 10, the world wouldn’t stop. A lot still awaits us. These seven points keep us tense and serious, as we should be. We continue working. If anyone thought we would stroll past any opponent, they were mistaken. Championships are won with hard work.”
