After Koper, the Dragons drew with Nafta. Both matches between the green and whites in the past week ended with a score of 1:1 after a minimal lead. After 30 rounds of the Telemach First League, Olimpija is at the top with 65 points.
Head coach Victor Sanchez after the away game in Lendava: “The final result is disappointing. We had enough chances to win, but that’s football. If you don’t manage to finish the game with a second, third, fourth goal, then you have to pay attention to the little things on the other side. Throughout the game, we managed to repel the opponent’s attacks well, but they scored with a lot of luck. Conceding a goal is an accident and that also happens in football. Now we need to rest well, and then respond in the home game against Domžale.”
“It’s hard for all of us when something like this happens, because we only have one thing on our minds. That’s victory. And when we don’t achieve it, it’s a bad emotional moment for everyone on the team. Mistakes are part of football and goalkeepers are immediately under attack due to their specific position. We definitely all stand with Vido. We trust him to the fullest. We know how many times he saved us during the season. He’s an absolutely exceptional goalkeeper.”
“Of all the pairs in the 30th round, we only played in Lendava on Saturday. The match could not be postponed to Sunday, nor to Monday. I really don’t understand this, but we can be happy that there was no new injury. Playing four matches in ten days is not easy, so I would expect a little more honesty towards all of us from those responsible for the schedule.”
