We have gained an advantage which should keep us on our toes, but we are full of confidence and I am confident that the boys will be at the top levelIgor Štimac said at the press conference on Tuesday, whose Zrinjski will take a minimal advantage (1:0) over Velež in tomorrow’s second leg of the BiH Cup final at Rođeni stadium.
Zrinjski celebrated in the first game, at the Pod Bijelim brijegom stadium 1:0 with a goal by Nemanja Bilbijeand Štimac on the eve of the rematch, scheduled for Wednesday at 18:00, is encouraged by the better ratio in the duels with the city rival.
We already have them won twice in Vrapčići this year and I am convinced that the boys will be at the top level and will do everything right until the endhe emphasized.
He pointed out that at the Rođeni stadium he does not expect more pressure than in the previous city derby because the Velež football players, as he emphasized, “knew that they could play rough, that they would not be punished for it”.
I believe that the final will take place in one fair trial. Everything is possible in football, but I doubt that we can play below par in such a game. There is no reason for anything to shake us.
He announced that in the meantime he tried to work with the players on the details that he was not satisfied with in the first meeting, and he particularly touched a noticeable drop in the gamewhich considering the energy capacities of several players who started that game was still understandable.
Commenting on eight matches without defeat in duels with the city rival, seven of which were victories, he said that in Zrinjski they should not be so burdened by Velez.
Who is more interested in beating Velež in Zrinjski?
But I understand our people and our fans and the need to dominate such an opponent and prove it again. However, when you beat someone continuously and for so many years, then I think you should look more, further, have a little wider horizonshe said.
In a kind of summary of the season at the end, he emphasized that this is “financially the best season of Zrinjski in its history”, that before the current campaign the club had never won the “European spring”, that the Super Cup had already been won and that winning another trophy would be magnificent.
As for the championship, I think that 99 percent of the people here were aware of what kind of championship we were entering, that they would be very difficultespecially considering all the fronts we were on. So that everything somehow fits into one game that should happen tomorrowthe strategist Plemić assessed.
