New Time Win Osijek
– Honestly, this is probably the best atmosphere I played in, this was the revolt of our fans because of the Osijek events, they cheered us up and showed us that it is not easy to play here to anyone – said the goalkeeper and captain of the new time Filip Bašković you added:
– We could have solved the series earlier, but in the third game their goalkeeper Ditano stopped us, we went carefully in the fifth because in some earlier games we received goals early and just had to come back … In the end, we celebrate, this is the fourth title of the champion, the second favorite for me, maybe the favorite, but the first is always the first.
Although unsportsmanlike events in Osijek threw a shadow to the final series, the president of the new time Dario Martinovicto which this first championship title was down the ball to the parquet:
– Because of everything that happened in Osijek, I didn’t sleep for a week. We were better and in the third and in the fourth game, unfortunately we missed our opportunities and did not finish our job. I have to mention that the first match in Osijek, the atmosphere and behavior of the fans were at a level, just right, but after winning they probably « felt blood » and energy went wrong ahead of the fourth game. It was ugly, I hope it will not be repeated because the people of Osijek are top people, what to say about Slavonia … – said Martinovic, adding:
– We were left without the slanderers of Duščak, Lima and Taras Korolišin got injured, but the guys squeezed their teeth, played a fantastic game. The audience was beautiful, this is our seventh finals and the fourth title, but I don’t remember ever there was such a community of players and audiences, without any dirty move, really something fantastic. We literally overrun them …
The people of Osijek were sad, but aware that the victory took a better rival.
– They were the first on each ball, fought it harder, they wanted more to win than us, they beat us … They came to the lead 2-0 in just about thirty seconds. We are sad now, but in a couple of days, when emotions are settled, we will become aware that we did great things in the first transition season. We played a great series in three games against Torcida, then four games against Dinamo, in the end, five against the new time … We did our best and I have to congratulate my players. As for the audience, I hope that I will always have the opportunity to play in this atmosphere, even though the home fans always push their team, but also that after the match we will reach out to each other and congratulate the better – said Osijek coach Carmine Tarantino, and he agreed to Jeremy Bukovec:
– Congratulations to Makarska on the victory and title of the champion, we were not real, it was seen on the field. I’m sorry we didn’t do our best, each of us had to be better, and energy, and defensive … I’m sorry there were no more of our fans in the stands …
Although more or less in the field, Fer and sports struggles have passed, after the match sparkled in front of the locker rooms, the Brazilians hooked up Savio and Everton Gallothey were insulted in Portuguese, but home goalkeeper Jaksa Herceg and visiting player Gordan Duvancic were the most appropriate, so they calmed them down and took everyone to their locker room.
New time is a real example of a sports collective from a small environment, in which a group of associates and friends does everything for the benefit of the club. For example, the club’s director Boćo Vuković came to the hall four hours before the game to check that everything was in place, fill in the record and make sure that the air conditioning was lit in time to cool the hall on time to make the players comfortable. President Dario Martinovic took care of details such as commercials, goblet, medal …
Board member Matko Pasalic He took care of the tickets and cheered the team from the first to the last minute during the match with the fans. His father Mijowho does not have a formal function at the club, but certainly one of the most important people, cared for the guests and officials, hosted President Hajduk Ivan Bilic, Marinko Akrap, Hrvoje Maleš … In the end, everyone went down to the parquet floor and took pictures with medals around his neck.
« Mijo, now it’s time to do the same with Hajduk, » one of the fans from the stands said to Pasalic, because it is known that many would love to see him in Poljud, but for that there are little chances, minimal, just for family reasons ….
In front of the hall, the players were greeted by fans with inflamed torches and songs, the celebration then moved to the Providence nightclub, where the feast lasted long into the night. But the first people of the club are already in thinking what to do next:
– On Monday, there is a meeting of the Management Board, I hope we continue all together. We are waiting for a lot of obligations, we open the season with a superkup, we welcome Osijek, Torcida and Dinamo in Makarska, we attack this trophy, followed by preparations for the Champions League. I hope we get the household of the main round at the end of October because we justified our expectations on the previous three occasions. Now it is played in a slightly different format, if we reinforce and if we are coincided by the stars, we may also manage to go to the Final Four – president Martinovic wished.
The chief operative at the Vukovic Club revealed to us details over the contract of players and plans:
– Since tomorrow, preparations are starting for the new season, most players are under contracts, only two have expired and I think there will be no problem. For family problems, Arthur returns to Paris, Klemen Duscak goes to knee surgery and we have to find an adequate replacement for it, because it is a player profile without which you do not enter the season. I am not afraid for us, we will surely agree on a good team, and even the conditions for players will not be worse, especially if we get the Champions League household.
In the end we left a man without which new time would have a hard time coming to a title, an experienced coach Ivan Bozovicwho welcomed the end of the game on his knees, with firmly squeezed fists and a loud shout « Tooooooo …. Emotions also worked with him …
– This was a crown of a difficult season, for me more difficult than all 20 previous ones. We did a great thing for Makarska, for our fans who follow us and support us on our guest appearances. We had a lot of problems, if the president wrote down everything that was happening could be an interesting reading reading. I literally woke up at 7:00 in the morning and I shouldn’t have looked on the phone so that I wouldn’t find me a new problem. Terrible, someone rewarded these guys with a victory for all they did in this season – Bozovic said, and when asked what further shrugged he shrugged:
– We’ll see. It is certain that the new time will play the Champions League. It will take me a week to come to myself, this was an abnormal charge, abnormal pressure, abnormal emotion, but it’s a sport. My wife and brother came to my wife with my wife for the final series, I told them that this was all too difficult for this, that I was starting to be a little afraid … Fear is a good ally, but when you start after 20 years, whether it will reward you in nine months of effort and work and that you have left a part of your life …
Makarani arranged a championship team from very interesting players, mix of international, Brazilians, French, Slovenian Dusak, Ukrainian Korolisin, a couple of experienced home players, above all goalkeepers Bašković and experienced Jelavic …
– I hope that the club will continue this way, that most players will embark on a new season of expensive because we have shown that we can make a result and even in the Champions League that has changed the format. Why not hope – said experienced Jelavic.
