Žan Karničnik, despite qualifying for Euro 2024 with the Slovenian national team, decided not to change his environment in winter and has instead become a full member of Celje. He will start the hunt for the title in this year’s Slovenian national championship on Sunday.
The 29-year-old, at the end of the preparations and before the continuation of the Prva liga Telemach, shared his thoughts, saying: “I can say that we have had good preparations; Turkey was, after all, the icing on the cake for the entire preparation. Even now, when we have returned, this dress rehearsal showed that we are in good form and can optimistically look forward to the continuation of the championship.” He added in the same breath: “I think it will be very important how we play these opening matches of the spring part because if you are not in good shape, opponents notice it. I believe that if we are in good shape, we can maintain the lead we earned in the autumn part of the championship.”
‘‘Certainly, now that I am in Celje, I am pleased that everything has been resolved, that everything is behind me, and now that I am a full member of Celje, I expect that we will play well as a team, win, and successfully start the second part of the championship,” said the side defender ahead of Sunday’s match against Mura.
