Maks Barišić has become part of Koper’s history this week, as the winger has decided to continue his career at Maribor. His decision surprised many, not so much for choosing Maribor but rather for rejecting Celje. Even the most ambitious Slovenian club showed interest, but failed to convince him. Mitja Viler admits he’s one of those surprised by Maks Barišić’s choice.
“I must admit I’m pleasantly surprised that Maks chose the club over money, if it’s true that Celje was seriously in play. He is tactically excellent and fits the Maribor system,” Mitja Viler, a native of Koper who spent a significant part of his career in Ljudski vrt, told Primorske novice.
Mitja Viler is confident that Maks Barišić will succeed in the Štajerska capital. He also believes that Barišić, an experienced footballer who spent 1467 minutes on the pitch during the fall, doesn’t need his advice on how to play: “He already has enough experience. He’s football-wise intelligent and experienced enough not to need any advice.”
