Matjaž Rozman, the experienced goalkeeper of Celje, admitted in an interview with Sportal that the celebration of the first national championship title for the club from the princely city was sweeter. Partly because no one expected it, while this year it was only a matter of time before the Styrians crossed the finish line first. Matjaž Rozman also added that both titles are equally valuable to him personally, and he revealed an interesting fact related to the celebration of the first trophy, which Celje won in 2020 under the guidance of Dušan Kosić.
“It’s hard to compare both titles, although… The first one is still the first, more passionate. But there was also a huge difference in terms of celebration. Unfortunately, the coronavirus pandemic was still present in 2020, so there weren’t as many fans in the stadium during the match against Olimpija. There was a visitation restriction, but it seems to me, at least that’s the feeling I got in the stadium, that there were slightly more spectators in the stands than allowed (laughter, ed.),” said the 37-year-old Matjaž Rozman in an interview with Sportal. He has been playing for Celje since 2016.
Regarding the celebration of the title, which Celje secured with a draw in the last round against Ljubljana Olimpija, Matjaž Rozman added: “After winning the title, we headed to a restaurant that was supposed to be closed. That’s when we ran into problems with celebrating the title because it was close to apartments, and people complained. The police received a report, knocked on our doors, so we had to end the party prematurely. But back then, different rules applied. Unfortunately, those were the times. This year, there were no such problems. Fans also came to the stadium in great numbers, so we could all have an excellent preparation for the main celebration.“
