Bravo suffered its first defeat after a win and a draw in the third match of the spring season, facing a strong opponent, Maribor, who secured a 2:1 victory. The club from the Slovenian capital, in Ljudski vrt, did not play poorly, which was the reason why coach Aleš Arnol expressed a certain disappointment with the final result.
“The initial impressions are that we were not precise enough in possession. When we had the ball, we didn’t exploit the empty spaces. The idea was right, but the execution was poor this time. There was enough space, especially in the opening minutes of the game and in the second half. We actually had quite a bit of space during the game. We had some good actions, some nice opportunities, but the fact is that we should have executed or finished better what we had created,” said Aleš Arnol after the match in the Styrian capital.
Arnol: “We’ll see where our limits are”
Despite the loss, Bravo remains a positive surprise in the 2023/24 season, and Aleš Arnol is satisfied with the performance of his team, currently in fifth place in the standings of the Prva liga Telemach. “I agree with the assessment that we have proven that we can compete with the best. I think we were competitive against all opponents, as indicated by the number of points collected. Honestly, at this moment, I am most concerned about the health situation because we have quite a few issues,” revealed the coach of the club from Šiška.
The 39-year-old expert from Upper Carniola continued: “Against Maribor, some players with certain problems played in the past days. Fortunately, there won’t be excessive problems in the mid-term. Where our limits are, we will only see. I would emphasize once again that we will be ambitious until the end, until the last round. We are a very young team, but regardless, I have players in the locker room who are hungry for success. The disappointment after this game indicates that they felt they could achieve more. So I will continue to encourage them. It’s extremely difficult to assess where we belong with all this youth. We will do everything to aim as high as possible.”
