Four matches left in the 2023/24 season and nine points difference between the leading clubs – the equation before Sunday’s big match between Celje and Olimpija is crystal clear. The Dragons must win in the princely city; otherwise, the Celje team will celebrate their second title of national champions. Zoran Zeljković isn’t concerned with the standings; he emphasized that Olimpija will only focus on themselves in the princely city. And, of course, play for victory.
“We want to win every match, and in Celje, we will only focus on ourselves. We won’t leave anything to anyone before the match. We need to think about our game and performance throughout the entire match because that’s where we have the most problems. Whether we finish poorly or start poorly. We need to work on that every day to make it routine,” emphasized Zoran Zeljković after the victory over Aluminij and ahead of the visit to the Z’dežele stadium.
The Ljubljana coach was satisfied with what he saw last weekend at Stožice: “We needed a bit of time to get into the game. Aluminij prepares some situations against everyone. In the first half, they easily got in front of our goal in two or three instances. There’s always room for improvement in that regard, but on the other hand, we created many mature opportunities around the goals. We must forget about this match as soon as possible because we face a demanding end to the league competition. Especially after losing the derby. We are to blame for the failure during the week. We had the opponent on their knees but didn’t knock them out. Here we can talk again about that final touch. The poor finish was also a consequence of the expulsion. We disappointed the fans, but life goes on. We’ll soon have another chance, and we must live for that.”
