Olimpija and Maribor will meet tomorrow at 20:15 in Stožice! Before the match of the 33rd round of the Telemach First League, which brings the green and whites a great opportunity to confirm the national title, strategist Zmajev spoke at a press conference.

Victor Sanchez in anticipation of the home derby: “We have the opportunity to become champions with a win. At the same time, it is a match against an eternal rival, which is additional motivation, although the fact that a win brings us the title is already big enough. These are matches that the players dream of.”

“I’ve loved playing tennis since I was young, and that’s a lesson I try to pass on to players. In tennis, you can have multiple finishing balls, two, three, even four, but you have to focus on the first one. If you take advantage of it, then the rest don’t even matter. That’s the case here.”

“When teams are similar in quality, the game changes from minute to minute. The rhythm changes. It’s the same at the highest European level. We’ve analyzed the opponent, we’re ready for anything. We want to be dominant, but we also have to be ready to defend well. Derbies are emotionally intense, so we’ll have to be smart.”
