Coach Tramezzani’s statement
Paolo Tramezzani after the meeting he did not hide his satisfaction:
„I thought I would be satisfied with today’s game. We deserved the three points, we played well and steered the game in the right direction from the very beginning. We scored two very nice goals and controlled everything. The opponent shot for the first time three minutes before the end of the game. I congratulate my players because they won for me one of the best games of the season.”
Speculations about the future of the coach
Despite the team’s excellent performance, information has emerged about the possible dismissal of coach Paolo Tramezzani, regardless of the outcome of today’s game. It remains to be seen whether this victory will change the direction of the decisions of the club leadership. With this victory, Istria breaks the negative streak and re-enters the fight for a stable mid-table position. In the next round against Varaždin in Drosina, Puljani will try to maintain positive momentum ahead of the winter break. Lokomotiva, on the other hand, must find a way to restore the confidence and trust of the fans after a series of poor results at home. In Kranjčević, Istria showed that it is capable of great things. The question is whether it will be enough for Paolo Tramezzani to continue leading the team in the rest of the season.
