Željko Sopić he failed in his intention to oppose Gorica his team takes three points. After the triumph Vukovar the day before, Osijek remained alone at the bottom of the ranking.
“I will be calm and sober. Unfortunately, only a point, but the fact that Vukovar won yesterday does not mean that we had to or should have. For me, the most important thing is that we wanted to. And I am absolutely sure that we will get out of this situation.”
And the situation is not easy at all…
“We sent everything we had on the pitch today. Vrbančić trained with me once. Matković played 90 minutes. Šimun Mikolčić has four or five games – he played the whole game. Mersinaj played 60 minutes at will, it wasn’t enough”.
Before Osijek, there is still a game with Slaven Belup, so it’s a farewell to the half-season.
“We will train again this week, then put our heads together and see. Maybe it’s up to me, maybe I don’t understand anything. And I would agree with them: “Sopić, you have no idea”. The people are completely right, I really have no idea. I choose the best and healthiest at the moment. The way they threw themselves at each other in the second half, I take my hat off to them. I know it’s only a point, but that’s all Osijek has. That’s the brutal truth. If anyone thinks otherwise, let them get in the booth and see what the situation is”, concluded the coach of Osijek.
