On Sunday, the 21st round of the Prva liga Telekom Slovenije will conclude with the last two matches. At 1:00 PM, the match between the hot Bravo and Celje will kick off, two hours later, the players of Mura and Maribor will step onto the pitch. Ante Šimundža, the coach of the purple team, believes his team will repeat the excellent performance from the match against Aluminij, although he emphasizes that Mura is a very serious opponent.
“Mura is a team that is well-organized, especially dangerous at home with the support of their fans. They played well for half an hour in Celje, took the lead, then things turned the other way. But when they managed to stabilize later on, they were again equal. It was clear what they wanted, how they wanted to play, and there is no doubt that they will try to lift their game to a higher level against us. They have a profile of players that allows them to play in two different formations. We have informed the guys about all the information about the hosts, but of course, we will not focus so much on the opposing players as to neglect our own,” said Ante Šimundža for the club’s website.
Šimundža: “Things are heading in the right direction”
Regarding the lessons from the opening round of this year, Ante Šimundža, who will miss Marko Strajnar but can count on Žiga Repas (also registered was Etienne Beugre, who is not yet in Slovenia), added: “We received confirmation of our preparations and the realization that things are heading in the right direction. But the opening victory brought only three points and nothing more. A new challenge was already on Monday, in between during the week at every training session, and a new challenge awaits us on Sunday in Fazanerija. The match starts with 11 players, but it ends with 16. It is important that the guys understand how to compete and behave during the game. However, we are still talking only about what was shown in one match; more concrete findings will be obtained by May. I am glad that the desire to prove oneself was strongly expressed, and this was essential. Even after the substitutions, we maintained the desired principles, which brings additional reasons for satisfaction.”
The match between the Prekmurci and the Štajerci will start at 3:00 PM, refereed by David Šmajc.
