The head of the professional staff of Crvena zvezda - Barak Bahar expressed his expectations before the match of the second round of the Serbian Super League against Napredek, which the players of our club will play at the "Rajko Mitić" stadium on Saturday from 20:05.
- After the game with Vojvodina, I was not able to see the match clearly. After the analysis, I was able to understand all the details and I saw that it was not bad at all, but I believe that there are things on the field that can be improved. I want the team to be stronger in attack, create more opportunities in the penalty area. I would like them to score more goals in the opponent's penalty area, that's the only thing I'm not satisfied with - began Barak.
The Israeli expert clearly pointed out the vision and idea of the Red Star staff.
- My philosophy is that we always win, play attractive football with high pressing and that the fans are happy while watching the match. I think you saw my philosophy on the field.
When asked whether the team adapted to the demands of the coaching staff and how much it changed compared to the previous season, Barak Bahar pointed out that he got to know the team well.
- I don't like to talk about what happened in the past. I came with my philosophy, and of course I learned a lot about the team before I arrived at Red Star. Some football players positively surprised me, some less some more, I am very satisfied with the team. I used every opportunity to get to know them well in order to adapt to them as well as possible.
The new strategist of our club archived the game played the previous weekend and said that the team is ready for different situations on the field.
- The previous game is in history. We constantly practice different situations in the game, therefore sometimes we prepare for a duel against teams that are offensively oriented, as well as for teams that are more defensive. We practice different situations in training.
The expert staff of Crvena zvezda did an excellent analysis, and our team is ready to welcome Napredak from Kruševac.
- I don't want to talk about the opponent, we respect all rivals. We analyzed well the last game, not only one but also the previous matches of Napredek. We know who is the biggest threat, we are ready for the match.
The football players of our team succumbed to the expectations of the entire Serbian football public, but Barak Bahar points out that the team knows how to handle pressure.
- The preparation of the next match is the job of me and the entire coaching staff. Of course, everyone expects us to score three goals in the first ten minutes of the game, considering that we started the season very well and that we did excellent preparations. We are not afraid. High expectations are ahead of us, but we are ready. We are moving forward to make them as strong as possible.
Aleksandar Katai, Mirko Ivanić, Jovan Mijatović and Stefan Leković will not compete for the next championship match against Napredek.
- Katai is still injured, he started running slowly and we are waiting for him to come back, but he is not yet fully recovered to compete for the game. Mirko Ivanić suffered a minor injury in the previous training session, nothing serious, but he will not be in the squad. Also, Jovan Mijatović has not yet recovered, and Stefan Leković is ill.
Based on the efficiency shown, it is already being said that our club could break the record for the number of goals scored.
- We have just started, this was the first competitive game, and in the future we will be able to talk about records.
Convincing victories have raised the expectations of the star-studded public, but the Israeli expert does not care about that and points out that the team wants to maintain a high level of play.
- I know that there are always high expectations ahead of us, but the team is moving forward to maintain a high level and to play better. It doesn't affect us, we train hard to play better.
The head of the coaching staff of Crvena zvezda did not want to reveal who will play in tomorrow's match against the team from Kruševac.
- You will have to wait until tomorrow to see who will play instead of whom, I will not reveal who will perform the day before the game - concluded Barak Bahar.
