When Olimpija last visited Rogaška, fists were flying on the VIP stands, and on the field, Joao Henriques secured a victory that many found controversial and especially dramatic. But that’s all in the past now. After all, the Portuguese is no longer the coach of Olimpija, and Rogaška is in a much better form than it was back then. Zoran Zeljković, who now leads the Dragons, is well aware of this, so he warns his players ahead of today’s visit to Rogaška Slatina that they face a demanding task.
Rogaška – Olimpija will be just one of three Saturday matches in the 29th round of the national championship, with matches also taking place between Radomlje and Koper (17:30) and Mura and Celje (20:15). On Friday, Maribor defeated Aluminij (2:0) away, while on Sunday, Bravo and Domžale (15:00) will clash.
“Rogaška is the best team of the second part of the season, and that says it all about how difficult the away game will be. We have a challenging task ahead of us, and we need to prepare very well. We have to play with maximum focus if we want to take all three points back to Ljubljana,” Zoran Zeljković, Olimpija’s coach, said for the club’s website.
“We will have to adapt to the circumstances and the opponent, that’s the basis for everything. We have thoroughly analyzed our opponents. In defense and attack, they are the exact opposite of the first part of the season. We know their strengths and weaknesses very well, so I believe in success. I know that players prefer to play matches. The schedule is getting busier, and also because of Europe, we have to slowly get used to such a schedule. Playing matches in such a condensed time is also very good for me because such a schedule doesn’t allow much time for thinking,” added Zoran Zeljković before the match, which will be officiated by Matej Jug.
