Every beginning is difficult, and Erik Merdanović is experiencing this firsthand. The young expert recently took on the challenge in the Prva Liga Telemach for the first time in his career, but as the coach of Domžale, he has yet to find satisfaction. The Yellow Family has lost both matches under his leadership, first against Maribor and then against Mura. The Black and Whites triumphed on Saturday at the Kamniška Bistrica, defeating Domžale 2-1.
“In the first half, I think we were the better team. We had quite a few opportunities that we didn’t capitalize on. In the end, there was again a slight lapse in concentration, leading to a goal from a set piece. This is unacceptable in such a match. We conceded two goals from set pieces. Still, it’s a learning process. The mistakes are a mix of youth and inexperience. As the game progresses, the pressure on less experienced players increases. We have a lot of work to do in this area. We continue to work and prepare for the next match on Friday,” said a far from satisfied Erik Merdanović after the loss to Prekmurci.
The next match will be crucial for Domžale as the Yellow Family faces Radomlje, who are also without a point after two matches. “We will again look for our opportunities… I’m a bit frustrated with everything that’s happening to us. We create many chances that we fail to convert. Apparently, we need to work more, especially on set pieces,” added Erik Merdanović.
