While the Slovenian national team is accelerating its preparations for Euro 2024, the footballers of clubs from the Prva liga Telemach are already counting down to the start of the new season. The Maribor players are enjoying their last free week, after which the proteges of Ante Šimundža will return to the Styrian capital and begin preparing for the challenges ahead. Of course, Jan Repas will also don the purple outfit, admitting that he is satisfied with the past season from a personal perspective, but team success was missing for the icing on the cake.
“From a statistical point of view, things went well for me. Of course, it’s much easier when the team plays well, achieves good results, and then individuals can stand out, as happened in my case, but also with the other teammates. However, there is no real satisfaction when there is no better team achievement and trophies won,” Jan Repas told the club’s website, revealing that he scored seven goals in the past competitive year, his best scoring record in his career.
Jan Repas: “We can’t be satisfied with this”
The former member of Domžale, who also played in France, drew a line under the recently completed season before the start of preparations: “Now, with a time gap and from a distance, when we look back at past events, we cannot ignore that we had a very poor start. Autumn was not good; we were unsuccessful in terms of results, and our performances were not at the level of Maribor. But then, with the arrival of the new coach, we turned things around. Ante Šimundža established a system that we accepted and executed the continuation of the season very well. Especially the spring part, where the only stain remained associated with the premature exit from the cup competition. We ended the season excellently, but of course, we cannot be satisfied with this.”
The Styrians will enter the new season with high competitive goals, which Jan Repas is also looking forward to: “We all know what the goal is for the next season; it’s pointless to discuss it. Now our additional obligation is to prepare well for all the challenges ahead. Motivation is great and strongly expressed. The end of spring will mean only additional momentum for everyone. We will start the season playing on two fronts, which is demanding but always something beautiful because we all immensely want the European summer to extend into the entire autumn. A tough task awaits us, but with a team performance, I believe that we can succeed in breaking through on the international stage with a good start to the championship.”
