Although they successfully competed in Europe during the week, there is no rest for them over the weekend. The players of Olimpija face the second round of the Slovenian national championship today before the return match against Polisji. Victor Sanchez’s squad will embark on their first away game. On the Slovenian coast, the team from the capital will meet Koper, which has started the season with a heavily revamped lineup that secured all three points in the opening round against Domžale.
At the same time, the highly anticipated Štajerska derby was supposed to take place today, but the Football Association of Slovenia granted the request of Celje and Maribor to postpone the match to a later date in order to allow Slovenian clubs to perform better in the European competition qualifiers.
“The matches come quickly in the summer, and we had to switch to the championship immediately. We performed excellently in Europe, but we are only halfway through the battle. In between, there is another competition, but the goal remains the same. We know what we need to do. We are familiar with the rhythm and, ultimately, the opponent, although they have made some changes to their team. I hope we will witness an interesting match. The atmosphere will certainly be excellent with the presence of our fans,” summarized the expectations before the visit to Bonifika by the zmaji’ defender David Sualehe.
