Olimpija\u2019s players beat Maribor on Saturday at Ljudski vrt. Indrit Tuci secured the Dragons\u2019 away win, and the Green-Whites sit just below the top of the league table with one round to go before the November international break.<\/p>\n
Jugoslav Tren\u010dovski after his first win in the Eternal Derby: \u201cI\u2019ll remember the Eternal Derby above all for how smartly we played it and how well we found the balance. At times we suffered too much, but we worked hard. I\u2019ll definitely remember the derby for the result as well, and for the emotions that followed after the referee\u2019s final whistle.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCongrats to Maribor\u2014they\u2019re a strong, quality team. Our plan was to play in a defensive block and look for quick counter-attacks. At certain moments we did that well. Congrats to my players too, because they showed character. This is a derby where it\u2019s not about the beauty of the game, but about who can handle the bigger pressure. And that\u2019s who wins in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the first half we had quite a few problems on the right side of our defence. After the break we limited Tio Cipot\u2019s space a bit, and our wingers helped us a lot with that. Luis Perea played in defence due to circumstances, but he\u2019s a very good, positive guy who understands football. When I told him where I saw him, he replied, \u2018Don\u2019t worry, coach, I can do that too!\u2019\u2014and he put in an excellent performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Friday, November 6, Olimpija are back on the road. The Dragons will face Nafta in Lendava, with kick-off at 5:30 PM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
