The 3rd round of the Slovenian Championship will continue at Ljudski vrt tonight, where Maribor and Bravo will face each other. This will be a match between tired teams, as both Štajerci and Ljubljančani have been proving themselves in Europe during the week. Maribor was successful, Bravo was not, and Ante Šimundža emphasized that he would have wished for Šiškarji to arrive at Ljudski vrt after a European success rather than a failure.
“We are facing a team that was also burdened on Thursday and is coming from a European match. Unfortunately, they didn’t succeed. We wish for as many Slovenian teams as possible to be successful in European competitions. Bravo was in the situation for the first time, playing in international competition. We know that switching is not easy. It is undoubtedly easier to switch to the domestic league after an advancement or a win; it is somewhat harder after a defeat or an elimination. How our Sunday opponents have dealt with the elimination is hard to predict. However, they have certainly gained useful experience in these four matches, both as a club and as individuals,” said Ante Šimundža for the club’s website ahead of the match, which will start at 20:15.
The violet coach also touched on the tense match in Romania, where Maribor conceded three goals but scored two and advanced despite the loss: “If we look at the overall events, we were the better opponent in the two matches. However, the fact is that we also suffered at certain times. We were not at the level we are capable of being. We lacked the recognition of aggression and how to handle things in the defensive phase. We were trailing twice, equalized twice. We had a lot of space that we could have utilized better, but it worked out, and the task is completed.“
