Olimpija is increasingly faltering in the title race, this time stumbling away at Bravo. The city derby, the last at ŽAK, ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving Zoran Zeljković, the coach of the dragons, visibly angry. He was particularly incensed by the conceded goal, which came immediately after Ivan Durdov‘s debut goal.
“It’s incredible how we conceded the goal. When I coached the under-12s, I never saw such a goal. The last minute, we have the ball, we lose it and concede a goal. I can’t accept that. It’s stupidity beyond belief,” Zoran Zeljković was sharp after the match in Šiška, adding: “Generally, it was a poor game from our side. In the first half, every time we passed sideways, we lost the ball. Everything we trained, we executed poorly. If someone came to the stadium today who doesn’t know the teams, they would think Bravo is Olimpija and vice versa. That saddens me. I told the boys we need to regroup. That this isn’t good. Now we have the international break, where we’ll have to train even better and play better in the final stretch of the championship.”
Is the title race with Celje lost? “We never want to give up. You can feel that we’re all a bit nervous. We know what each point means to us. It’s not easy to play under such pressure, but if we can’t cope with it, then we’re not for Olimpija. We’ll have to play much better if we want to end up where we want to be,” emphasized Zoran Zeljković.
