Marko Zalokar was Aluminij’s idea: In Kidričevo, they ultimately decided to continue trusting young goalkeepers

Aluminij will fiercely battle for survival in the Prva liga Telemach this spring, and coach Robert Pevnik will continue to prioritize youth over experience in goal. In the fall, the goal was guarded by Samo Pridgar, who is 20 years old, and Jan Petek, who is only 18, and one of them will be the last line of defense for opposing attackers in the spring as well. Interestingly, despite this, there were considerations in Kidričevo to add experience to the goalkeeper department. The club leaders had Marko Zalokar in mind, but it remained just a thought.
Already 33 years old, Marko Zalokar has been a member of Maribor since the summer of 2022, but he has not played a single game for them until today. There were rumors in the past that he might return to Krško, but despite everything, he stayed in Ljudski vrt, where his contract is valid until the summer. At that point, the former Mura player will have the freedom to move elsewhere, but until then, he will continue to be part of the purple squad.
It’s worth noting that Robert Pevnik, the coach of Aluminij, is slowly introducing Lan Jovanović, a 17-year-old goalkeeper from the youth team, into senior football. He will have the status of the third goalkeeper in the senior squad this spring. Meanwhile, the younger brother of Sandro Jovanović will continue to accumulate playing time in the Eon NextGen League, where he played 11 games in the fall.
It should be mentioned that the first round of the Prva Liga Telemach this year will conclude with the match between Maribor and Aluminij. However, expecting Marko Zalokar to debut in the purple goal is not realistic…
