Olimpija performed excellently in the 23rd round of the Slovenian league on Saturday. The Ljubljana team achieved a convincing victory in Kidričevo, defeating Aluminij 4-0. Olimpija’s coach, Zoran Zeljković, expressed his satisfaction after the match, acknowledging that he is already looking ahead to the future, specifically to the next Saturday when Olimpija faces the season’s key match against Celje.
“In a derby, what you did before doesn’t matter. Only that moment decides. We know what we want. We know that we have to win the next match. A draw is not enough for us. In this game, we will once again leave our hearts on the field. We are aware of the importance of three points. It also keeps hope alive for something more. We need to rest well. We have two days off, and then we will do everything for success,”
emphasized Zoran Zeljković. Olimpija currently trails Celje by seven points, but the leading club has one game in hand.
Regarding the match against Robert Pevnik’s team, Zeljković added: “I am pleased that we were closer to the fifth goal than they were to the first. Many changes, a lot of rotations, but our performance remained as we want it. This is crucial for the continuation of the season. When you don’t concede a goal, everything becomes easier. In the first match, we conceded two at home. I always repeat that we must start from a solid defense. It’s challenging always to score many goals. I hope that sometimes even 1-0 is enough. We always need to do everything not to concede. Olimpija must also play offensively, and it always will. But defense is the foundation.”
