The Dragons face a home match against Celje on Wednesday, October 28, at 7:30 PM. Ahead of the Round 13 clash in the Prva liga Telemach, striker Indrit Tuci spoke to the club website. He joined the green-and-whites at the end of August and has scored three goals in seven appearances so far.

Tuci on the adjustment period: I think I’ve adjusted well to life in Ljubljana. The city is really beautiful, and the first two months have been very good. We’ve trained a lot, and I’ve also played in seven matches. This kind of rhythm suits me, because we have lots of training sessions and few days off. I believe I can keep improving and help the team even more, especially with goals, which are what matter most in the end.

On first impressions: Olimpija is a big club, so you have to be 100% focused every day and ready to work. We train a lot, and discipline is important too. We have a coach who demands the maximum from the players, which I like. He wants us to play good football and get good results that way.

On working conditions: At the club, we have practically everything we need for quality work and progress. From nutrition and support from a psychologist to treatments, massages, and individual analysis with the coaching staff. I’m very satisfied, because the work is done at the highest level. I know how important these conditions are for our development and the team’s success.

On personal goals: As a striker, I always want to score goals and help the team win. That’s my main job, and it’s what I want to work on every day. I believe I can keep improving and become an even better player. The most important thing is to stay focused, work hard in training, and take every opportunity I get. My goal is to get better from match to match and, with my performances, help Olimpija achieve the targets we’ve set.

On an important week: We have two very important matches in just a few days, but first we have to focus on Celje. They’re a quality team that plays in Europe, but I believe in myself and in my team. I’m convinced we’re better, and we have to prove that on the pitch. Only after this match will we start thinking about Saturday’s derby.

On the team’s performances so far: In some of our matches so far, we’ve shown a lot of good things, but we’ve also made a few mistakes. I believe we’ve learned something from them. On the pitch we have to be focused, disciplined, and show our quality. We’ll do everything to win and keep fighting for the top of the table.

On support: The fans are a very important part of the club, and your support means a lot to us. Playing in front of loud stands gives you extra energy and motivation to show even more on the pitch. That’s why I’d like to invite as many fans as possible to come and support us at Stožice on Wednesday. We’ll give everything we’ve got to thank you for your support with a good performance and an important win ahead of an even bigger weekend.
