Oskar Drobne emphasized multiple times in his media appearances before the start of the second half of the 2023/24 season that he firmly believes Rogaška will secure survival in the Prva liga Telemach. The black and whites have been proving the weight of his words from game to game. On Sunday, Rogaška defeated Koper even in an away match, further closing the gap with second-to-last Radomlje.
This year, Rogaška has only lost to Celje, drawn with Olimpija and Maribor, and, in addition to Koper, has also defeated Domžale. At Bonifika, Patrik Mijić and Oliver Kregar secured another victory for Rogaška.
Oskar Drobne: “Almost Unbelievable”
“The crucial factor was that the early goal we conceded in the first minute didn’t knock us down. We started the game really poorly, and in the opening 10 minutes, Koper had too much space. They took advantage of that with the quality they have. When we were quick enough and strong enough in duels again, we took the initiative and were also more dangerous. The result of that was the two goals we scored. The second half was a completely different game. Koper pressed us, especially after the seventieth minute. At that point, we retreated too much. But football rewards you if you are brave. And we were. We are very satisfied,” said Oskar Drobne after the victory, which leaves Rogaška with only two points less than Radomlje.
The millers will be Rogaška’s next opponent, with the match scheduled for Sunday at Rogaška Slatina. However, before that, the black and whites face a cup away game against Nafta on Thursday. What will be more important? “We are focused on the championship. Clearly. The cup is just an additional reward. We’ll see how it goes on Wednesday. The schedule is dense and demanding. It’s almost unbelievable that we play on Thursday at half-past five and on Sunday at one. We will have only two and a half days before a very important game, so the medical staff and the fitness coach will have to decide who can play,” added Oskar Drobne.
