After the victory over Bravo, Maribor is back in action today. Ante Šimundža’s team will be on the road against Rogaška, where Lan Vidmar will once again ensure the solidity of Maribor’s defense. The former captain of Bistrica has undoubtedly been a pleasant surprise in the opening rounds of the spring in the Prva liga Telemach. Despite never having played at the highest level before, Lan Vidmar immediately secured a place in Maribor’s starting eleven and more than justified the trust of his coach.
“If someone had asked me in the summer if I would get a chance to play in the first league, I would have said yes, I believe so. However, I would not have believed that I would have the opportunity to transfer to Maribor. But I didn’t sign a contract to settle for that. At home, they told me to work hard and be patient; the opportunity will come. But I said, I know what I’m capable of, and I believe I will play. The stars were in my favor; I got the opportunity from the first game, and I must continue in that manner,” Lan Vidmar told the club’s website.
Lan Vidmar: “Playing at the top level in such conditions”
The 22-year-old regarding the start of his new adventure in Ljudski vrt added: “I am glad to be a member of the starting eleven, but I am aware that I cannot and should not be satisfied with that. I know what Maribor means. As a youngster, I used to go to the matches; people love the club. When you play here, you have the greatest support from the stands. Playing at the top level in such conditions is fantastic, and I will strive to justify the trust and contribute my share in every upcoming match.”
The next proving ground, as mentioned, is Rogaška Slatina. “As the coach would say, euphoria is not allowed. Happy that we have stayed in the winning rhythm. It is necessary to stay focused, regenerate quickly, and play another good match against Rogaška, which has undergone quite a few changes and is stronger than in the fall. It’s a shame that I won’t be there. I’ll be cheering from the stands, and I believe the boys will successfully face the next challenge,” emphasized Lan Vidmar.
