The season has been long and demanding, and we have seen and experienced many things. Now, as it nears its end, in the Prva liga Telemach, we are still awaiting the most important decisions: who will be the champion and who will be relegated? The champion could be crowned as early as Sunday when Celje faces Olimpija, needing just one point. It’s not insignificant that the home team will undoubtedly be buoyed by a good atmosphere. As revealed by Valerij Kolotilo, president of the Celje club, there is record interest in attending the stadion Z’dežele.
“It has never happened before that we sold so many tickets three days before the match. We have already set a record here, and on Sunday, another one could fall. I hope for good weather, for beautiful football, and to provide a football celebration for all fans. Both those from Celje and those from Ljubljana. Everyone is welcome at the stadium. I can’t wait for it to start,” revealed Valerij Kolotilo to Sportal, who believes that the league attendance record in Celje (4300) will be broken, and hopes for even more spectators at this match.
“I also dream of higher numbers. For example, 7 or 8 thousand spectators. I believe history will be made on Sunday,” hopes Valerij Kolotilo, and regarding the clash with Ljubljančani, he adds: “This will be a real derby. We must prove that we are not at the top of the table by chance. Now we have the opportunity to show in a direct confrontation that we are truly the best in Slovenia. The theory says it’s not over yet. There are still many possibilities. Olimpija’s fans expect their players to beat us and continue to hope for a miracle, but it will be very difficult for them. We have great confidence in our team. It’s no coincidence that Celje has been leading the league all season. We have a very quality team, so I hope that all the calculations and scenarios about how Celje could end up with nothing will end on Sunday.“
