12 games unbeaten. No, this is not a historic achievement. Primož Gliha once went unbeaten for two seasons! On the other hand, Victor Sanchez has indeed achieved a historic milestone. Olimpija has never celebrated such a significant victory in Europe. It’s not ironic, but it is astonishing that the Spaniard managed this on such an important match. It was truly football poetry. The way Olimpija played… Radomir Đalović put it beautifully – like Real Madrid! It was a feast for the eyes, a spectacle. Rijeka was left bewildered by what had befallen them…
“Congratulations to my boys. This is a great achievement,” emphasized Victor Sanchez, who celebrated five wins out of six qualification matches with a goal difference of 14:2. The Spaniard continued: “I am happy for them, for their families, and for the fans. It was really a beautiful evening at Stožice. We knew what we were playing for. That it was a final. We were aware of the opportunity we had earned. And in the end, we did our job. The boys received the reward for working so hard and so well. All the pieces fell into place as they had to. As we had envisioned. It was perfect. From the first to the last minute.”
Victor Sanchez: “I like to tease them a bit”
Victor Sanchez also described the tactical plans he adopted before the match. Olimpija sent out three exceptionally aggressive and combative midfielders who “took away” the will to live from the visitors from Kvarner. “We analyzed the match against Maribor, once, twice, three times, and we also analyzed the match against Rijeka. We decided to play differently. To surprise the opponent a bit. We played differently in defense than in attack. We wanted to surprise them a little; the plan was good. How we executed it was even better. I like to change tactics, I like to adapt to the situation. This time everything worked perfectly,” Victor Sanchez did not hide his satisfaction.
Given what we saw, the question arises: can Sanchez’s Olimpija be even better? “Good question. This time we played almost a perfect match. And because of that, I also congratulated the boys. Tomorrow, during the analysis, I will show them and tell them what they still need to improve. I like to tease them a bit, challenge them. But what makes me happiest is that they are hungry. That they like to work. That they are quality players, as they have shown multiple times. On top of that, they embrace my ideas, which is perfect,” Victor Sanchez reflected after the magnificent victory over the Croatians.
