“The match in Celje was nice and interesting, but unfortunately, we couldn’t celebrate. We were close; we should have finished it off, but such things happen. This week, we saw that it’s not just us, but even larger teams are experiencing similar issues,” said Mura’s coach Oskar Drobne at the press conference ahead of the clash between the Prekmurci and Štajerci.
Oskar Drobne acknowledged that the defeat in Celje affected his players significantly, making it essential to find a way to motivate them for the upcoming challenges. He emphasized that the next match could easily end like the last two if the team isn’t fully prepared for what lies ahead.
Mura Needs to Show Their True Face
“I believe we are on the right path, but such results leave psychological consequences. This week, we focused mainly on clearing our minds. The players realize that the result is painful, as shown by their body language. The approach this week has been excellent regarding this, and we look ahead with positive thoughts,” Drobne remained optimistic despite the circumstances before facing the giant from Ljudski vrt.
The former Rogaška coach concluded: “After the match with Celje, I said that for the next opponent, I wouldn’t want anyone else but Maribor. It’s the easiest way to motivate the players. I expect to see the true face of the team. Where would we end up if we thought negatively? We might as well give up. Positivity! The results in recent matches haven’t been kind to us; in some matches, we didn’t deserve them, in others, we did. We must be genuine if we want luck to reward us. Showing our true face is the guiding principle we must uphold. Our play and combination are improving; we are getting to know each other better. Every week we spend together is another step forward, and it looks good.”
