Zrinjski players welcome the Široki Brijeg team in the 22nd round of the BiH Premier League. The match against the neighbors was announced by the head of the professional staff of Plemić Igor Štimac.
After an excellent performance against Crystal Palace at home in a match that ended in a 1-1 draw, but in which the people of Mostar had a chance to win, they now turn to the domestic league. Sunday’s opponent, claims Štimac, they respect a lot from the traditional rivalry.
We know they are ours took off a couple of points at the beginning of my work and here we approach this meeting with great seriousness. Bearing in mind that they had a rather turbulent period behind them, staff consolidation, the departure of the coach and all that together, I would say that they are a pleasant surprise of this continuation of the championship, but we certainly have to take care only of ourselves. We have to choose the right composition that they will have enough freshness and energy to defeat the opponent.
Štimac also answered how much a demanding game left its mark against the English team.
It’s hard to say now. The match will tell. From our professional side, we will try to ensure that those who will not have freshness, which we will be able to notice only today during training and tomorrow during testing, rest for what we waiting in London. We will put those who have fresh legs, who are there and waiting for their chance.
When asked by a journalist what he expects from tomorrow’s opponent, what kind tactical lineupŠtimac replied:
I don’t know what to expect from anyone here in this league, to be honest with you. As happy as I was before, during and after the game we are in did their best to represent our club, city and the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina at a high level in Europe, others were dealing with other parties.
Others dealt with meetings in the mayor’s offices, restaurants, changed coaches who do not want to hide from opponents, brought others who will hide.
Street stories are being confirmed. Yesterday we witnessed a game in which six very good players left out for no reason one team, they were not in the squad at all. So it is evident that what is being done, but we will take care of ourselves and try to fight against all these anomalies, Stimac said.
Let’s remind, in the first game of this round, played on Friday, Sloga met Borac, and in the end, the guests recorded a great 0-4 victory.
The match HŠK Zrinjski – NK Široki Brijeg it’s on schedule on Sunday from 3 pm in Mostar.
