NK Osijek squad wants to show up as their best versions this last championship match
The curtain falls on yet another football championship in Croatia.
Our squad will be away team in Koprivnica this Friday at 18, Koprivnica having been an indomitable fortress for Osijek’s siege up until 2 years ago, but times have changed. Osijek wants to continue ahead and extend their win streak against Slaven Belupo in order to finish the season.
Barisic not Present
Osijek’s squad won’t have Barisic, Barac, Grgic, Grezda, Malenica and Ejupi this time so that coach Zekic looks to employ different solutions. Zekic will additionally mix up the individual player positions & roles and players from Osijek II won’t be utilized because they fight their own battles to win games in the 3rd League East.
Koprivnica’s roster finds young stars such as Baresic, who stands in for Santini and Ilic, who attended the match against Hajduk, albeit on the bench. Ilic had his chance in the match against Inter during extra time and today, he may very well prove his worth.
Certain Individuals in the Spotlight
It would be ideal if Osijek won their last match this season. The offensive stance Osijek has is to be expected and the champion mentality must be present.
Zekic mentioned that some people will be in the spotlight, namely those whose performance was inconsistent as of late. He is doing that in order to flesh out the main roster. Everyone will, therefore, have to prove their worth this match. The start of the prep in June will be easier if Osijek plays this one well.
