After the national team break, which brought Slovenia a resounding victory over Portugal, the Prva liga Telemach will return to the main stage tomorrow. Maribor will face Radomlje at 17:30 in the closed Ljudski vrt, where a celebration outside the stadium is expected, as presented by Maribor’s expectations defender Lan Vidmar.
The former member of the second division club Bistrica, who moved to Maribor during the winter transfer window, revealed that he came to the Styrian capital with high competitive ambitions.
“I came here to win trophies. When you play for Maribor, every defeat hurts. Regardless of the competition it occurs in. This year’s cup failure was even more painful because we didn’t meet expectations in the league, and the cup competition was even more important to us. The defeat affected us, but we regrouped and responded well. So, the match against Radomlje will also be a remedial exam for us, due to the unpleasant intermediate cup experience. We know what awaits us. As we saw in the last mutual encounter, Radomlje’s players can completely change the course of the game in five minutes, and we must be focused for the full 90 minutes, until the final whistle,” said Lan Vidmar for the club’s website.
The 22-year-old defensive midfielder added regarding playing in front of empty stands: “I hope and believe this will further connect all the fans. For me, who arrived late, the feelings are even more mixed. I’ve barely gotten used to the atmosphere, which is truly top-notch, and now comes the confrontation with the unpleasant realization that we have to play in front of empty stands. Fans follow us in large numbers, it’s a special feeling to play in front of such a crowd. Fans mean a lot of support to us, and it will certainly be difficult without them. However, I believe they will be very vocal outside the stadium, and we will hear them on the field.”
