Mirko Jelicic: “The most important thing is that we got the result”

After the match against “Aral” in the 20th round of the ProLiga, our team’s head coach Mirko Jelicic attended a press conference.

– First of all, I would like to thank the “Aral” team for their fight. All our matches against them were difficult. As I said at the press conference at the beginning of the season, it is difficult to play football on this field. We preferred to rely on experience, depending on the situation. They quickly adapt to any situation when they have the ball. The most important thing is that we got the result. But we do not strive to play such football. This is never necessary.

– What can you say about this season of the Pro-League, in which 6 teams played?
– Yes, the situation is not very optimal. I have never heard of 6 teams playing in one league before. A team should play one opponent 4 times. I hope this will change and the situation will improve. The PFL will probably take a different approach now. Of course, we don’t know what it is. The season was difficult for us, we struggled in every game. After playing a lot with one opponent, you have a lot of information about the opponents. It’s good that the season is over and all that is behind us.

– What did you expect from the “Aral” team and to what extent did they come true?

– We knew that this game would be difficult. “Aral” will try to exert maximum pressure here. All the players will be fully prepared for the game. Therefore, many things cannot be changed. Although we lost today, it was enough for us. Today they played differently than usual. This is due to the mental state before the game. Therefore, whether you like it or not, you will have to work differently. But no matter how much you plan, you won’t be able to play in this stadium as you expected.
