Celje celebrates its second title of Slovenian champion, and the fans’ attention is already turned towards the future. Can Celje follow the example of Maribor, Mura, and Olimpija and welcome winter in Europe? This will certainly be the main European goal of the club from the princely city, and it will be interesting to see if Jegor Prucev will be part of it. The young Russian decided Sunday’s match against the dragons with a masterpiece, and Damir Krznar, Celje’s coach, admitted after the match that he wants to see him in his dressing room next season.
“Jegor Prucev provided the icing on the cake. He is a fantastic player who carried us throughout the season, his contribution was significant. He also had fluctuations at times, but that’s normal. We will try with all our might to keep him. But it was the victory of the entire team. The defensive line fought heroically, the midfielders ran a lot, and the attackers constantly tried to break through their defense, although they often ran into a wall,” Damir Krznar said after the match at the Z’dežele Stadium.
Only 21-year-old Jegor Prucev arrived in Celje last summer, from Crvena zvezda. The Belgraders loaned him to Slovenia; initially for six months, but in the end, he stayed until the end of the season. The city by the Savinja River made it clear that they want the guy from Krasnodar to stay in their ranks, but Jegor Prucev has a contract with the Serbian club, and they will have the final say on what happens next.
