After the victory of Rijeka against Vukovar in 1991 3:1 in the 16th round of the domestic football championship, Robert Ferlin hosted Stjepan Radeljić, one of the scorers in the duel against Vukovar, in the program Pod stijenema Kantride Radio Rijeka.
Rijeka took the lead in the 11th minute with a very nice goal by Stjepan Radeljić from a free kick. It was his first goal of the season.
This season I couldn’t score a goal, but there were chances. In the end I never dreamed that I would score my first goal this season to score from a freelancer. I can say it’s definitely mine the most beautiful goal in his career. We are all overjoyed, me and my teammates, especially since we won three points and came close to the topsaid Radeljić, reports HRT.
I think the goalkeeper he didn’t expect me to shoot at allhe reacted late and the ball went into the goalhe added.
Rijeka won the double crown last season, won Europe, and then started the new season worse. But Victor Sanchez’s team has stabilized now. In the domestic championship, Rijeka is sixth with four points behind, and in the Conference League it is in 24th place, which leads to the playoffs.
“We finally understand the coach’s ideas”
By the end of the championship season, Rijeka is expecting more visiting Istria in 1961 December 14, and the home match against Gorice December 21. Before that, on Thursday, Rijeka will play a match of the 5th round of the Conference League when Celje arrives in Rujevica. In Europe, they still have a match against Shakhtar in Krakow on December 18.
After winning the double crown we immediately started preparationswe have about 30 games behind us, I think we are in very good shape now. We finally understand the coach’s ideas and he knows what to expect from us and that’s how he sets up the game. We achieved Europe, which was the goal, we have a chance to stay in Europe in the spring, for sure the game on Thursday is very important for us. The goal is to beat these two remaining teams in the league to stay at the top. If we manage to achieve all that, then we can say that a successful half-season is behind usRadeljic said.
It won’t be easy against Celjethey are near the top, they will do their best to beat us. They have a good team, they are well managed, we are not expecting an easy task at all, but I think we will “fight” well in front of our fans and win those three points, which are very important to us.Radeljic added.
