Saturday, 04. 11. 2023Sunday’s Dragons match
The Green-Whites will take on the NK Celje on Sunday at 3 pm at the Z’dežele Stadium! Olimpija fans who travel to Celje will be able to watch the round 15 of the Prva liga in away Sector F. The match will be broadcast live on Sport TV.
Ahead of the Dragons’ only away game in November, we spoke to Argentine midfielder Agustin Doffo: “We have a very important game coming up! The prediction is simple. We need a win because we want to reduce the gap to the leader. I expect a very difficult but interesting encounter with two teams that are attacking and looking to score.”
Head coach Zoran Zeljković will not be able to count on the Argentinan because of the yellow card quota. Doffo is understandably disappointed, but the Green-White fans can be happy to see how he is feeling after his recent injury: “I feel good. I had back problems and missed a few games. It was an unpleasant pain, but now I feel great. I am training without any problems. I don’t think there will be any complications in the future. I am certainly sorry that I will not be able to help the team in Celje, but I will be there. We support each other at home and away games, regardless of whether the boys are injured, punished or out of the team. We all stick together. It will be the same this time.”
A few days ago, Olimpija reached the cup promotion, and Klaksvik is coming to Stožice right after Celje. Doffo about the changing room thinking: “New coach, new ideas. My teammates and I need to adapt as quickly as possible. There are a lot of matches and everyone wants to win in football. We are not doing well at the moment, but we know we can do better. It is important to be patient. We have to believe in good things. So, at the moment, winning is the most important thing of all. We need this to continue to fight at the top. Everyone in the team is well aware of the importance of Sunday’s game. I hope we will have the right support from the stands again,” concluded the Argentine, looking forward to the second match with Celje this season.
