Olimpija created more than enough opportunities to defeat Celje and close the gap to the leading club in the Prva liga Telemach to just four points. However, the Styrians survived the “Ljubljana siege” and ultimately secured a point, although they were just five minutes away from a victory. Zoran Zeljković, the coach of Olimpija, was not dissatisfied with the performance of his players, but he was bothered by what also frustrated the fans: inefficiency in attack.
“In general, I am satisfied. We created a lot of opportunities. However, I am not satisfied with the execution. Especially the last chance we had, I regret. But this is also a question of quality. We controlled the game, were better, but we fell a bit short,” said Zoran Zeljković after the end of the match in Stožice, where just under 4000 spectators gathered.
Zoran Zeljković: “The city lived with us”
Ljubljana‘s coach continued: “I think the opponent can be more satisfied with the result, but we are the ones who lost two points. But regardless, we remain alive. I am proud of my players and also of the fans. This time the city lived with us. The spectators could enjoy, and we fought until the last minute. In the end, we also lacked a bit of luck.”
Regarding the battle for the title, Zoran Zeljković does not intend to raise the white flag, although it is true that Olimpija will depend mainly on any slip-ups by Celje. “We must primarily think about ourselves. In life, things come together when you do your job. If you win, then you can expect the opponent to make a mistake. There are still many points in play. In the future, we will continue to give our best, and then we will see what it brings us. The dead are counted at the end of the battle,” concluded the coach of the green and whites.
