Lopez talked about the future as well.

“The team will fight for the same objectives. We will make sure to keep the level of the team. The roster will include less players: we have only 16 players at the moments and not 18 – including Aginagalde, Evdokimov and Urios.”

The Slovenian players leaving the club, Zorman and Pajovic, also commented the news.

“I am very happy for this decision, because I will have new motivation to improve,” said Pajovic.

Zorman remembered the golden era of Celje:
