“He started well in training, then had a longer break. However, he played good games in between, providing assists. He lacked a goal, which he strongly desired, perhaps even more than all of us together. His desire to prove himself is exceptional and has been rewarded. He confirmed his character, winning mentality. Football always gives back. I believe that with his dedication, work ethic, and attitude, Maks will only continue to improve his performances in the future,” said Ante Šimundža for the club’s website.
Maks Barišić moved to Ljudski vrt in the last winter transfer window, and he has played seven games for Maribor so far. He has scored once and provided one assist. In total, the 29-year-old winger has scored 20 goals in 78 appearances in the Prva liga Telemach.
