On Saturday, a postponed match of the 9th round of the national league will be held at the Ajdovščina stadium between the home team Primorje and guests from Radomlje. Both teams secured very important three points in the previous round after a long time, with Radomlje defeating a direct rival from Lendava, and Ajdovci surprisingly winning against the favored Ljubljana team Bravo.
Since both teams are neighbors in the lower part of the table of the Prva liga Telemach, this clash will be one where a victory counts double, hence the tension in both camps is accordingly high, as everyone is aware of the importance of the win and the weight of the loss.
Haris Dedić: “Radomlje deserve praise”
Before the match, which will start at 1 PM in Ajdovščina and will be the third consecutive home game for the hosts, who should not be playing there according to the rules of the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS), the captain Haris Dedić, who has been playing in the city of burje for the sixth season, shared his expectations with Planet nogomet.
“The win against Bravo has given us a boost of confidence; however, it was also a unique lesson that will guide us on how to fight in future matches to earn points,” emphasized 27-year-old Haris Dedić, a former youth international for Slovenia, who has previously played for Koper and Rudar from Velenje.
The captain of Primorje added regarding the clash with the millers: “The match against Radomlje is certainly a kind of derby in the league table, but for us, it will be no different than playing against any opponent, whether it’s the Champions League champion or a friendly match with a fourth-division team. Only this mentality leads us to new points. Radomlje deserve praise, and we will do everything to bring a new smile to our fans’ faces at home.”
Gaber Dobrovoljc: “Primorje will be a big challenge”
From the guests’ camp, experienced central defender Gaber Dobrovoljc spoke for Planet nogomet, who has enjoyed 100% playing time this season.
“After the match with Nafta, we were very satisfied, not only because of the three points but also because we showed a very good game. Especially in the first half, we dominated. I think it was one of our best games this year, if not the best,” believes the long-time member of Domžale, who has also played in Turkey and Iceland, and before joining Radomlje wore the jersey of Mura.
The 31-year-old, who has played a substantial 250 matches, scoring 19 goals, continued: “Now we face a tough match in Ajdovščina against a direct competitor for survival, which will be a big challenge. We know they have 12 points and are ahead of us in the standings. They score a lot of goals from counterattacks, so we will have to be especially cautious about that. We must be maximally focused. I believe in our team and hope we can play freely on the field. If everyone gives their maximum, our quality will shine through. Personally, I look forward to this challenge and hope we show our best side.”
The only league match during this international break will start at 1 PM, with Martin Matoša officiating. An interesting fact: this will be the first-ever league match between Primorje and Radomlje.
