The home win against Nafta, secured by Antonio Marin, Ivan Durdov and Raul Florucz, further solidified the Dragons in first place in the Telemach First League! The advantage after the 21st round is nine points, which, according to Victor Sanchez, is extremely welcome in anticipation of the decisive European showdown.

The green-and-whites’ strategist said after their third straight first-league victory: ”It’s not an easy game. You always have to play well if you want to get three points. We are very pleased with the team’s performance against Nafta. That’s the most important thing. The plan was right, as was the execution. There were many opportunities, we had complete control of the game. The net also stayed clean. We are certainly even happier about the quality of the pitch, the playing conditions in Stožice are now truly ideal. I hope that it will soon be the same on the auxiliary pitch.”

”I’m happy for Matej, who made his debut for Olimpija. Dvoršak was with us throughout the preparations, he already drew attention to himself during the summer. Then we decided to loan him to the 2nd SNL, which is working well for him. In six months he gained experience, he can help us in defense and that’s why he is with us now.”

”A convincing victory always gives the team extra confidence. This time, most of the players were guys who didn’t play in Europe, which means we can count on everyone. I’ve said that many times. Everyone is ready, everyone wants to help the team. We are therefore expecting the return European match full of enthusiasm, energy, and confidence, and I promise that we will try until the end.”
