Edy Reja after a baptism of fire in the Telemach First League: ‘We got a point against one of the best teams in Slovenia’
Edy Reja sat on the bench for the first time on Friday and led Gorica to a point against
Mura
. Add to that the win in Celje, during which Edy Reja was still sitting in the stands, even though he was officially the new coach of the club, and it is more than clear that the change on the bench paid off for Novogorica. Well, in other words, it paid off to bring in a coach who has managed “countless” games in neighbouring Italy, both in Serie A and Serie B.
The Italian-Slovenian international’s side took the lead against Mora on Friday and had a few more chances, but had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
“We are very happy, because after the big win in Celje, we now got a point against Mora, which I said before the game is one of the best teams in Slovenia. It’s difficult to play against them because they have the physics, the technique, they are organised. We played very well for 60 or 70 minutes, we pressed all over the pitch, then we fell down physically. We had two or three chances to score and close the game, but I think 1:1 is a realistic score. Mura also played well. I am satisfied with what has been shown,” is for

They still have a lot to fix
The 77-year-old expert then turned his gaze to the next round, in which Gorica will play away to their direct rival for survival Tabor: “If we play like we did in Celje in the second half and this time almost the whole game, we could win. But every game has to be played, prepared for and done well. We still have a lot to improve, we need to be closer, more organised, technically better, we need to have offensive solutions. We have a week to work. It will be a very important showdown for us.“
