Bahar's dominant 10 - the best call for eleven

It didn't take much for Bahar to change the style of play in our club, to instill a winning mentality in the team in all matches, given that there was no difference in the approach of the players in duels against teams of the Champions League level, as well as in matches where Zvezda was the absolute favorite. . Everything started with victories in Užice against the Selection of this city (3:1) and Borca from Banja Luka (2:0). Those were also the first meetings between the red and whites in the preparatory period, to be followed by the incredibly played tournament of Barak Bahar's team in St. Petersburg.

We can say that everything started with the victory against the Russian champion and friendly club Zenit and that since then the star players have high expectations from our club in the Champions League, which will start in more than a month. The result was 2:1, and Zvezda was a significantly better opponent during the entire 90 minutes. We continued in the same rhythm, and won against Nefci (4:0) and against Turkish Fenerbahçe (3:1) and thus won the Pari Premier Cup with maximum performance.

After returning to Belgrade, the first match at the Maracana was played against the vice-champions of Serbia - the TSC team, while the machinery of Barak Bahar was convincing with 3:0. The match against Fiorentina was eagerly awaited, and even the biggest optimists did not expect such dominance by Zvezda and the spectacular 5:0 victory achieved in the 27th minute in front of slightly more than 36 thousand people at the "Rajko Mitić" stadium.

It was a great prelude to the start of the new season, and Crvena Zvezda hinted at how the games in the Serbian Super League will look like. In the first round, we welcomed a well-known rival in the domestic championship, and the premier of the national championship opened in a great way with a 5:0 triumph against Vojvodina. After that, we celebrated against Napredek with 4:0 at the Maracana, and the red and white team achieved their last victory in Lucani, where the score was 4:1 in our favor. When everything is added up, since the arrival of Barak Bahar, we have played 10 matches, recorded the same number of victories and scored as many as 35 goals with only four conceded.

Red Star will play their next match on Saturday, August 19, when they will welcome Spartak from Subotica in the fourth round of the Serbian Super League, starting at 8:30 p.m., and the results of our club so far are the best call for the "Rajko Mitić" stadium to be full, not only in this one, but in all the games until the end of the championship.
