Before the start of the Women’s Football League Triglav Zdravje today, Katarina Gadnik, the captain of the ŽNK Radomlje Medex, shared her thoughts with the club’s website. The Novogoričanka is entering her 13th season with ŽNK Radomlje, having been loyal to the club since its founding. Initially playing for the DU15 and DU17 teams, she first joined the senior team in the 2013/14 season. To date, she has accumulated 180 official appearances, a club record.
Radomljanke Enter the New Season with a New Coach but the Same Emblem of Youth
As captain, Katarina leads the team into the new season, which, like last year, begins with an away game against Cerkljanke. “Indeed, we are starting the season with a match against Cerklje at their ground. It will be crucial for us to play patiently, aggressively, and as a team,” Katarina stated before the season opener.
Youth remains the trademark of the Radomlje team this season as well. What does the captain expect from her teammates? “We have a young team, but compared to last season, there haven’t been major changes in the squad. This means that the young players are more experienced in the senior league, which is significant. Of course, as a team and a club, we have expectations and goals, which is right, but we must not rush things. We need to train hard, put in serious effort in all areas, as only then will we see results and development in the players who will be fully engaged. This is what I expect from everyone, including myself, as only then can we achieve our set goals,” the 26-year-old captain emphasized.
Katarina will, with her experience, also serve as an extended arm of the coach, Matej Rožič Mavrič: “Before the season started, we experienced a change in the head coach position. I can assess the preparations as successful, but that does not mean there isn’t room for improvement. Throughout the preparatory period, we identified some elements that can be improved, but we also saw concepts we are striving for. Progress is visible, but patience is required. Every coach has their own methods and way of working, and now it is the same. Matej has brought us new energy and motivation, and so far we have meshed well. I hope we continue in this rhythm,” concluded the experienced Katarina Gadnik.
