"We must continue with good performances. I always strive to give my best for the team," stated I. Čović after a spring training session. His presence in goal last season signaled a crucial shift for NK Slaven Belupo. Čović, born and raised in Koprivnica, knows how to apply pressure on opposing attackers.

With the team fighting to stay in the upper half of the table, Čović has become a key figure for his side, with several incredible saves in recent matches. His ability to read the game and timely reactions often highlight him as the standout player on the pitch.

In the last match against NK Varaždin, Čović was up to the task, recording three key saves that secured points for NK Slaven Belupo. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric, with fans chanting his name in support. Čović hopes to contribute to the club's goals until the end of the season.
