After two consecutive league games without a win, Damir Krznar is expectedly not overjoyed. After the draw with Rogazka, Maribor won only a point against Domžale, where the Styrians played very poorly in the first half and better in the second, but all of the above was enough for a 1:1 result. Damir Krznar was in a less than cheerful mood again, although it is true that he was not as sharp as he was after the match against Rogaška Slatina.
“We are now two games behind us, and we have shown two faces. With a really bad first half and a better second half. First we were late, we weren’t on track or on time. at the desired level of speed. We knew how Domžale played. With a lot of energy, sprinting, with an increased level of aggression. We prepared for such a match, but we did not respond equally. The only positive was that after a bad half-time, probably the worst ever, we were 1-1 up. We made some changes, were more direct and dominated the rest of the game. When we expected a turnaround, it didn’t work out. We created some chances, half chances, but we didn’t take them. Because we were so bad in the first half, we were not rewarded,” is for

Krznar: “The answer was wrong”
The Croatian admitted later that he was really furious after the game against Rogaska. Also hoping for the right response from the players. This was not quite the case at Ljudski vrt, to be honest.
“The guys felt that I was really angry, very disappointed, with mixed feelings. I do not doubt anyone, we are in this together. Sometimes I have to give a critique after the show. But we are one body, there is no division, and we have to work together to get out of this situation. There can be no doubt about the boys’ efforts. Milec, for example, was injured in the first half, but persevered and stayed on the court almost until the playoffs. The desire of the boys to do their bit can sometimes be too strong, and that is where some of the problems on the pitch come from. Everything worked well during the week, it was encouraging how they got all their commitments done during the week. The build-up to the game was OK, but then we didn’t respond in the right way. We expected this kind of opponent, but we didn’t do what we should have done. We were the ones who cancelled. We were not in the mood, creative, playful in the federal line. But when we got through the middle and closer to goal, there were too many inaccurate passes, finishes,“, the former coach of Dinamo Zagreb describes what went wrong.
Prove they are better
Damir Krznar doesn’t want to make too much drama, though, because the season in
Telemach First League
“We will have to put our heads down, sit down and talk. The championship is a marathon, and I warned after the race in Krško for a reason. Now these wasted points have taken on greater significance and I am even more sorry about the outcome. We will therefore further miss these points. Not from today, but from the game against Rogaska. We had a good response in the second half, so we can be happy with that. Not with the first one, we made trouble for ourselves then. Above all, I regret that everything we predicted has happened. But we have not answered adequately. But I am convinced that we are better than the latest results show and we have to prove it.”
