Domžale seem to be placing even more emphasis on young footballers in the future. This is confirmed by the opening match of the new year, which Domžale lost (Bravo won 3-1 at the stadium by the Kamniška Bistrica), but at least they provided an opportunity for a significant number of young players. The match featured the starting lineup of Lovro Štubljar (19), Luka Topalović (17), and Lukas Hempt (18), while in the later stages of the game, Edvin Krupić (19) entered the field. Additionally, two young players made their debut in the Prva liga Telemach for the first time.
Coach Dušan Kosić gave a baptism of fire to the talented youngsters, who played in the Eon NextGen League in the fall: both Luka Dovžan Karahodžić (who missed last year’s U17 European Championship in Hungary due to injury) and Mark Šerbec are only 17 years old.
“The feelings upon entering the game were excellent. Everything happened very quickly because I didn’t expect to get so much playing time in the first match after the preparations. The game is much faster and physically stronger than in the youth championship, but I gave my all in the match. Unfortunately, we didn’t achieve the desired result, but defeats are also an integral part of sports,” said Luka Dovžan Karahodžić in his debut statement for the club’s official website. His sporting lineage is remarkable: his mother, Alenka Dovžan, was an excellent skier, and Edvin Karahodžić was a Slovenian national team hockey player.
Mark Šerbec, who moved to Domžale from Ilirija two years ago, said after his baptism of fire: “The feelings were truly exceptional because I didn’t expect to have an opportunity to prove myself in the very first match. I would like to thank the coach for the opportunity given and, of course, the entire club for the trust. It’s a shame we couldn’t secure a positive result, but nevertheless, the debut will remain a fond memory for me.“
