Footballers of Maribor arrived in Serbia on Wednesday, where they will try to take a step towards the final round of qualifications for the Conference League on Thursday. The Violet team will defend a one-goal advantage (2:1) from the first match against Vojvodina, and among the traveling squad to Bačka Topola is summer newcomer Karol Borys, who believes that Maribor can play very well in the return leg and advance to the final obstacle before the group stage of the competition.
“I am looking forward to the return match. We have a goal advantage, but it doesn’t guarantee progression. We played well in Maribor, got to know the capabilities of Vojvodina’s players. We are dealing with a demanding opponent, but we believe in ourselves. If we repeat the performance from Ljudski vrt, we can advance to the next round,” said Karol Borys upon arriving in Serbia, where the return match will start at 8 PM on Thursday, as he told the club’s official website.
Karol Borys: “I like the city, the environment is pleasant”
The 17-year-old footballer from Poland has so far played four matches for Maribor, with one assist. Last weekend, he made his first appearance in the starting eleven against Mura, which clearly fills him with joy and pride. “I am happy to have been given the opportunity. We responded well after conceding a goal, won, and achieved our goal. It was a pleasant experience. I felt good on the field and tried to contribute to the team’s success,” explained Karol Borys, who is on loan from the Belgian club KVC Westerlo.
The talented teenager also touched upon his first weeks in the Styrian capital. “I like the city, the environment is pleasant, and everyone at the club welcomed me very well. My goal is to progress and continue my development path here. I would like to get as many playing minutes as possible, enjoy every moment on the field, and win the championship with Maribor. In the meantime, the short-term goal is to be as successful as possible in Europe. From what I have seen so far, the Slovenian league is interesting, and the players have quality. I like that teams aim to achieve their goals through play and creativity. I enjoy technical play and believe that the move to Maribor was good, and that I will succeed in taking the next steps forward in this environment,” explained Karol Borys.
