The Radomljanke will open the second half of the regular season of the Women’s Football League Triglav with a home match against the Cerkljanka team, which they have already defeated twice this season. The match in Gorenjska will be decided by Špela Gerbec, who announced the Sunday clash. After international duties, the concluding phase of the 2024/25 women’s football season begins. In the autumn part, we will still follow four more rounds, after which the players will take a well-deserved winter break.
Špela Gerbec: “We are aware that the match will not be easy”
“In the first part of this season, we are primarily satisfied with the progress we have shown from match to match. It will be important to maintain all the good things we have done so far, but we must not be complacent; we need to improve on what has been challenging for us. A lot of focus will be needed in both defense and attack for the Sunday match, as we know it will not be easy,” emphasizes the yellow team’s forward.
Špela has played three matches against Cerkljanka in the senior competition and has scored in each one. Last October, she was the key player in the victory with two goals, and after scoring in Cerkljanka in August, she paved the way for cup advancement just ten days later: “I approach every match the same way and do my best to help the team achieve the best possible result.”
Sunday’s match will be accompanied by television cameras from Planet 2, and the Radomljanke will play for the first time on the renovated main pitch of the Športni park Radomlje. Does this provide any additional motivation?
“Playing on the renovated main pitch of the Športni park Radomlje definitely brings additional motivation. This is our chance to prove ourselves and show everything we have trained for so far and justify the efforts of the club’s management, who have enabled us to play on the new pitch. Every home game is special, and we play it with joy, especially this Sunday,” responds Špela.
The seventeen-year-old was part of the youth national team along with Jona Javorič, Sara Medić, Brina Omejec-Židan, Ula Omerzu, and Varja Špiler, which improved its results at the tournament in Kranjska Gora. The Slovenes defeated Scotland in their last match. How important is it for the girls to return to the club with a victory?
“Despite losing the first match and drawing the second, we persevered, which paid off with a win in the final test. Of course, the victory brought us a lot of joy and confidence, but we need to leave that behind now and shift our focus to the next league match. The rhythm in the last week has been tough; we played three difficult matches, so we need to use the days leading up to the next match for recovery as best as we can,” concluded Špela Gerbec.
