Koper has fewer defeats than the leading NK Brinje Grosuplje after playing 20 matches in the youth Eon NextGen league, but the Primorci are “only” in seventh place on the table. The reason? A significant number of… drawn results! Koper has drawn in almost half of all played matches. Nine times the coastal club’s matches ended in a draw, most recently on Friday when they hosted Maribor at Bonifika. Koper led twice, but in the end, they settled for a draw (2:2).
“Now it’s a bit amusing for us,” said Koper’s coach Igor Božič after the match with the Purple, vividly expressing himself. Regardless of everything, he says that this draw was fair: “Definitely. We saw two different halves. In the first, there was more quality on our side of the field. We also had more opportunities. The first half was our half. Unfortunately, in the second, we were too satisfied with the lead, but after the goal for 2:2, we showed character, which I liked.”
As for the draws… “I really hope that we will finally achieve a victory again. That the guys relax… You can see a tremendous desire in them, they invest a lot of effort into it all. But we just can’t get to three points,” added Igor Božič, who has celebrated a victory only once in the last eight matches in the youth Eon NextGen league. But there were five… draws!
