Koper defends that it acted in accordance with the rules of the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS), but despite this, the umbrella organisation employs a football employee who was particularly critical of the move by the Primorska premier league team. Miran Pavlin, former top football player, now serving as Director of the NHS national teams, only after the change In the first minute of the match against Rogaska, 17-year-old Koper player Luka Žavbi refused to be silent and fired a few sharp arrows in the direction of Bonifika.
“The coach’s move is so bizarre that it couldn’t be more bizarre. To change a 16 or 17 year old boy in 45 seconds. Get inside his head, how he felt. I am really disappointed about this. The coach is part of our coaching organisation, where it is clear to everyone what we want to achieve with these rules. I would understand even if I were a foreigner. Now the club is taking responsibility, but that’s not really important. I feel sorry for these young guys, a few weeks ago it was Andraž Ruedl, now it is Luka Žavbi. It is a machine for destroying young boys. I can only imagine how I would have reacted if this had happened to me when I was 17,” said Miran Pavlin for Sportklub, who also worked in Maribor, where he was assistant to the sport director Zlatko Zahović.
Miran Pavlin: “We know what’s right and what’s wrong”
Gorenjec also responded to the words of Koper’s sports director Ivica Guberc, who said that he did not understand the “media hype” because his club had acted in accordance with the rules.
“Ivica is a good guy, Koper and I had moments together that we will never forget. But we’re both football people and we know what it’s like. It is crystal clear to everyone that Koper does not break the rules, but if everything was normal from a moral point of view, we would not be discussing this today, would we? There are laws in life too, but we know what is right and what is wrong. The reaction of the other clubs is also clear, they simply don’t understand this move,” continued 52-year-old Miran Pavlin.
The official, who as a footballer also wore the jersey of the iconic Portuguese club Porto for some time, hinted that the NFA could intervene in the winter already in the written rules regarding young footballers and their participation in the Telemach First League: “Every innovation you put into practice can have some anomalies, and during the winter break we will sit down with the clubs and assess what is good and what might need to be improved. We are always open to discussions.”
