Vladimir Vermezovic returned from Ljudski vrt defeated and also disappointed: ‘I think Mura beat themselves this time’
Mura hosted Maribor on Saturday at Ljudski vrt and returned home defeated. Vladimir Vermezović, the coach of the black-and-whites, also left Ljudski vrt disappointed. Yes, also because of the defeat, but even more because of the conviction that his team made Maribor’s path to the first victory under Ante Šimundza’s leadership much easier.
“I was in a really optimistic mood before the game… For a good part of the game, we were evenly matched with Maribor. They are a better team than us at the moment, that’s true, but… I think we have beaten ourselves this time. The mistakes we made – especially the goal in the last minute of the half – is something that can hurt the team a lot on a psychological level. The third goal was also our mistake, we got it from our car. Amazing the mistakes we have made! But okay, it happens… We now have two weeks to prepare,“, Vladimir Vermezović did not hide his disappointment after the showdown in the capital of Styria.
The experienced Serbian expert is all the more excited about the national break, as he admitted that he is still not completely at home with the team he has at his disposal. “I still don’t know all the players. Morris, who was injured in my first training session, played his first game. I don’t know him as an actor. Neither does Laird Sadrius. He got a red card six minutes after the start of my first match… We still have a few players who will get a chance. We have until December to fine-tune the team. We will see if we need reinforcements or not,” added Vladimir Vermezović.
