The summer transfer window was quite unusual, even bizarre, for Celje. The biggest reinforcement for the reigning champions is actually a player who has arrived on loan. Svit Sešlar will spend a year in the city of the knežji, having been loaned back to Slovenia by Turkish club Eyupspor. After representing the U21 national team, Svit Sešlar has now finally moved to Celje and has already completed his first training session in his new kit.
“My first impressions are good. I completed my first training session with the team, although I was separated, but just coming into the locker room, getting that feeling, seeing how the players think, watching a bit of the training, is something nice. Now… from tomorrow onwards, it’s for real,” Svit Sešlar said to the club’s media upon his arrival at stadion Z’dežele.
Sešlar: “Europe will be the icing on the cake”
The former Olimpija player admitted that there were several reasons that made the decision to move to Celje easier. “All the factors (familiar teammates, coach Riera, European competition, etc.) are positives. Knowing the locker room makes it easier to get into training, into everything. I know coach Albert Riero from our time at Olimpija, where we had a very good season, and now it’s time to repeat that in this competitive year,” said the 22-year-old, who is also excited about playing in Europe.
“Definitely. We all know that European matches are something special. They are played at a completely different level, the pace is stronger, the viewership is much higher, and the pressure is different. European matches will undoubtedly be the icing on the cake,” added Svit Sešlar, who has scored 12 goals in 73 matches in the Prva liga Telemach.
