Maribor’s young players have made their philosophy clear: If you want to play football, you must be brave. The club, known for its vibrant blue-and-white colors, has set its sights on a challenging match against Nafta in Lendava on Sunday at 8:15 PM. This game marks another step in the team's quest for a successful season, with the goal of building upon past successes and continuing their upward trajectory. Coach Darko Milanič emphasized the importance of confidence and preparation during a training session before the match. “We clearly aim to create a series of victories, which is our primary objective,” he stated. “We’re building on previous games where a lot was done well. We want to build on that. We know that Nafta, despite playing in the second league earlier this season, has shown very good performances. We are preparing maximally.” Despite some injuries within the squad, the coach expressed full trust in his players, who are ready to take on the challenge. The team is also looking to strengthen its roster ahead of the end of the transfer window. While official confirmation is pending, there is optimism surrounding the return of Petar Stojanović. The player, once a key figure in Maribor’s youth system, is close to signing a loan deal from Polish Legia Warsaw. “He’s coming back home,” said coach Milanič, adding that while he doesn’t interact much with the player personally due to his busy schedule, they will focus on integrating him into the team once he arrives. “Everything looks simple, but given the characteristics of new players, you want to highlight what they do best. Sometimes adjustments are needed. That requires smart decisions, followed by time. So I’m not focusing on that right now, but it’s clear the quality is excellent.” Meanwhile, the story of Benjamin Tetteh, the Ghanaian forward, has reached its conclusion. He has decided to continue his career in the United Arab Emirates, joining Al-Khalifa Club. “I don’t have the burden of Tetteh because I didn’t know him personally. I wish him all the best in his new club,” said the team’s tactical analyst regarding the departure of one of the team’s promising forwards. Young player Niko Osterc, who recently returned to the starting lineup, reflects on his growth since making his debut for Maribor in September 2024. “When I first wore the jersey, it felt special,” he recalled. “From that moment, things have changed. I’ve been on loan to Belgrade and Ilirija, and my performance in the second league helped me grow. I feel better, more mature, and more courageous.” Osterc, now 19, continues to make an impact in the second half of matches, often taking bold decisions that reflect his belief in advancing the ball. His philosophy is clear: “If you want to play football, you must be brave. Otherwise, there’s no connection to the game.” Coach Milanič echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the importance of courage in both training and matches. “We spend a lot of time working on this. Courage is one factor, but we can’t forget that you need to be able to receive the ball well. Much work goes into being properly positioned before receiving the ball, and that’s something we focus on extensively.” In addition to internal developments, Maribor has also seen external moves. Young goalkeeper Tilen Golič, who joined Maribor from Domžale in 2025, is set to move to Hull City in England. The transfer comes after a collaboration between Maribor and Ilirija, which has produced financial benefits for both clubs. Hull City will pay a £200,000 fee, shared between Maribor and Ilirija. Golič, whose brother plays for Belgian side Mechelen, has already begun his journey abroad, marking a significant step in his career. On the other hand, captain Andrej Pogačar has left Radomlje to join Catanzaro in Italy’s Serie B. Meanwhile, Enea Marsetić, a key player for Brinje Grosuplje, has moved to Czech top-flight club Slovan Liberec. His transfer, valued at €300,000, represents a major step in his career and highlights the growing recognition of Slovenian talents on the international stage. Marsetić will join fellow newcomers Venustu Baboulau and Fallou Jafy, further strengthening Slovan Liberec’s squad.
