Maribor announced another piece of news as they enter the new season: after a long absence, Gregor Sikošek will once again be able to help the team on the field. Sikošek, to be honest, has gone through an extremely difficult period, which, as he himself says, has taught him a lot.
“The impressions are good; I think we have rested and mentally prepared for the new season, a new period. The foundations from last season are excellent, so we want to continue in this rhythm and achieve the goals we know, namely winning the national championship, and then there are also the cup and European competitions,” were the first words of the full-back.
It is also very encouraging that the 11-time Slovenian international is ready for all the challenges and is completely healthy. “I would say that I was already at one hundred percent at the end of last season. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to play, but as far as health is concerned, everything is fine now, so I can finally put it behind me and play normally going forward.”
If it weren’t for the already known circumstances, the 30-year-old might now be preparing for the European Championship, but he does not feel any bitterness about it, and at the same time, as a true teammate, he wishes the best for the guys. “During this period, quite a few things happened to me that I had to actually deal with, so enough time has passed now that there’s no bitterness because I was also aware that I wouldn’t be there. Now, when I watch the guys in the national team, there are no bad feelings, and I hope they show what they are capable of at the Euros and achieve positive results.”
“I want everything I had before, that is, first, to play in Maribor, to achieve something here and prove myself, and then consequently to return to the Slovenian national team and receive the opportunity there that I would like to take advantage of in the best possible way,” Sikošek was clear.
“Definitely. I would say that now I see life in a completely different way. I have noticed that I dedicate much more time to my family, so I somehow try to devote time, attention, and everything to those things that actually mean the most to me in life. Before, I might not have even realized what I have in life, so now I appreciate it much more,” concluded the former member of Domžale and Koper.
