Gregurina: ‘Jagušić is a genius. Regardless, he played for him in front of 80 thousand people or on the playground…’

In the 16th round of the HNL, the Pharmacists won against Gorica (2-1) and escaped fourth-placed Varadin to plus five, while the gap behind first-placed Dinamo is only minus five. Jagušić scored for the home team’s lead, Kavelj equalized, and Ćubelić brought the victory. Gregurina was delighted with the victory.

– An extremely important victory. The boys pulled out the last atom of strength on a very difficult field, in very difficult conditions, against a very good opponent. We entered the game well until the goal, and after that we had a lot of technical mistakes. In addition, they had čfour gamesčin the middle compared to our three and they won a lot more other balls and thus gained a lot more possession, so we suffered a little – he said and continued:

– We played the second half at a very good level, and I want to be like that all the time. Of course, Gorica also had two very good chances, but we also created three or four very good chances. The second 45 minutes were very informative and interesting for the viewers.

It is difficult to choose epithets to describe the class of the right-wing Jaguši, who has a great future ahead of him. Only the sky is his limit.

– The characteristic of such big games is that they don’t care if they play in front of 80 thousand people or on the school playground. He is a cold-blooded genius on the field and the fact that someone is watching him all the time can only be an additional motivation for him.

Gorica again entered the losing streak.

– We really played very well and that’s why I can’t be satisfied with the defeat. In the first half, we were excellent in high pressing, we were really good in coming out after the ball was taken away, maybe there was a lack of better decisions, better solutions – said Carević.

Gorica was close to a point, but Ćubelić brought victory to the home team.

– We knew that Slaven has top shooters from distance, little Jaga is a world-class gameč for me. Lost to that individuality, two shots from distance. In the second half, we had a dead chance with Fiolićas three meters, then Pavičić one on one with the goalkeeper. We didn’t deserve to lose, but I appreciate Slaven on the top streak. They play excellent football, all the best to them.
