Some time ago, when Etien Velikonja posted a photo of his football boots on social media, he captioned it:“Last pair.” What was he trying to say? That she is finishing her career? For the time being. The rumours in Nova Gorica are growing louder that the 34-year-old is increasingly flirting with the end of his rich and eventful football career. The final decision has not yet been officially confirmed, but a glance at the staff

in the last period tells a lot.
Etien Velikonja started Gorica’s first game of the year against Radomlje, and was not even in the line-up for the next six games.
As Admir Kršić, Gorica’s sporting director, revealed, one of the reasons why Etien Velikonja, Gorica’ s captain, hasn’t played recently is injury. “Etienne is currently training at full strength, he recently felt a tendon pain, but it is better now. He is at the coach’s disposal, but it is true that we have rejuvenated our attack and, given his experience, Etienne’s role is also to help the younger players on and off the pitch,“, Kršić explained to Navijaško zona.
