The fan group Tifozi of NK Koper criticized several players, including former Maribor player Josip Iličić, after a heated incident at a match in Grosuplje. They accused Iličić and Jovan Vidović of being the organizers behind a media smear campaign against the club. The fans claimed they were provoked and threatened by those involved, stating that Iličić and Vidović had replaced their 'green' football image with 'underground criminal' behavior. They also mentioned Fran Tomek, another player, who was subjected to insults but not publicly humiliated. The group emphasized that they have a good relationship with the other two Croatian players and clarified that they would not kneel to anyone who tries to prevent them from supporting the team.
