Olimpija won the last match before the midweek eternal derby against Maribor, with the Dragons triumphing away in Domžale. Along the Kamniška Bistrica, the hot striker Raul Florucz shined with two goals, while Zoran Zeljković admitted after the match that he was angered by Peter Agba’s foolish behavior. The young African received a red card, meaning he will miss the match against Maribor at the Stožice.
“Unfortunately, we ended up with ten players. Agba’s red card angered me, as it was received due to foolishness. Nevertheless, we were prepared to work hard with one player less, and it rewarded us with the third goal, which was practically decisive. I’m truly happy for Admir Bristrić. With Peter’s absence, we can look forward to Agustin Doffo’s return in the derby. I’ve mentioned countless times that we have depth. I believe this will help us prepare well for the eternal derby,” Zoran Zeljković told the club’s website.
Zeljković: “Deserved Victory”
The coach of the Ljubljana side was understandably pleased with what he saw in the match against the yellow family. “The opponent was very compact in the first half of the match, but when we recognized where Domžale left us some more space, we quickly found ourselves in an advantage. One goal can change everything. Once we took the lead, even more space started to open up, and we knew how to exploit it. Looking at the overall picture, the victory is more than deserved. The momentum for the midweek match is good, but it’s not an advantage. Nothing counts in the derby. Not the table, nor the last match. What’s important is quick recovery and good preparation to play the upcoming match according to our wishes,” Zoran Zeljković elaborated.
Regarding the victory over Matej Podlogar’s squad, the former coach of Koper continued: “We expected Domžale to play on counterattacks. We knew they had some very fast players. We paid the most attention to this in recent days. In the end, we conceded a goal that wasn’t really necessary, but I’m happy that Raul has started to work well defensively and when he comes out of that, the quality in the attacking midfield becomes even more apparent. He’s capable of dribbling at a very high speed. At the same time, it’s important to be consistent in this. It’s evident that he has progressed a lot in the second part of the season.”
