During the winter break, Mura traveled to Turkey, where the black-and-white team conducted the main part of their preparations for the second half of the season. In Antalya, under the guidance of head coach Vladimir Vermezović, the players played five matches. The results of these games were three losses, one victory, and a draw. They lost to the teams Velež, Kisvárda, and TS Galaxy, defeated the reigning Polish champions, Rakow, and drew against the Russian second division side Arsenal Tula. The last match ended prematurely as the Arsenal players left the field in the 85th minute when a penalty was awarded to Mura. The final score was 0:0.
After the game, Vladimir Vermezović provided a statement about the match and the overall preparations on the club’s Facebook page: “It was a very tough game. They are from the Russian school and are a very strong team. Although they are a second division team, they were in the first division until recently. This match was a good test for us. The boys played the game well. We completed the entire preparation well. The game was the culmination of all that. We could say that the results in the preparations were not satisfactory, but we played against very strong teams. We didn’t want to give ourselves the illusion of playing against weaker teams. We wanted to test ourselves, see where we stand. The guys could see where we are at this moment. We have a good foundation for the continuation of the championship.”
Vladimir Vermezović is already focusing on the upcoming battles in the Prva Liga Telemach: “There are even finer things here that we still need to work on. I hope that the conditions in Slovenia allow us to do that. I think the team is on the right track. I am most satisfied with their attitude in training and matches. Some individuals have also exceeded their capabilities. There were also some minor injuries, but I think the guys have already recovered. They have shown character.”
