Binić: Full Maracana recipe for greats in the Champions League

- The name itself tells what Maracana is. It is a stadium with a special atmosphere, we have fans who are our 12th player. Big teams, big football names played in that stadium. Without the audience and without the cheering of Zvezda fans, it wouldn't be what it is. It's exactly that special feeling on the field, when you know that they have your back and fear, that they are with you until the last moment, and that always gives you an additional motivation to play - began Binić.

It depends on the football player how much wind they will get, effort and desire are always rewarded.

- Cheering depends on the field. We create an atmosphere on it and give the fans elan with our game. They are always there to lift you up and help you .

Zvezda has the team to compete with the big European teams.

- It is important that Zvezda has been playing in Europe for a long time. Maracana will be full, it is always full. Zvezda is building a team to compete with teams from Europe. We have one bad luck, it would mean a lot to us if the championship was stronger. Zvezda made a good team, we gained a lot of speed with the last reinforcements. I hope that with these three new players we will have a more lethal attack, more chances, and of course more goals .

Zvezda is ready for a breakthrough in Europe.

- We skipped some domestic limits. Now we are looking to follow the European teams and mess up the accounts there as much as possible. It is important to play in Europe, and of course to advance. The team is in the making, a lot of players came at the last moment just for the Champions League .

The new Champions League format will not affect the red and whites.

- The game is played as you draw out the opponent. There is no more away advantage and second leg matches. Perhaps Zvezda is in a slightly worse position, our Maracana is special. If you achieve a positive result on the side, you can save more easily at home because of the incredible fans .

Binić does not single out individuals, the team leads Zvezda to a positive result.

- I expect the most from the attackers, it doesn't matter who scores the goal. Playing well and giving your all is the most important thing. Someone is better that day, but when you give your all, it always comes back to you .

The famous Barcelona is coming to the Maracana, which is different from the time when it visited Belgrade with Maradona as the leader of the team.

- That's what the Champions League brings to Zvezda. How big clubs come to our country. Each time is somehow different, then there was Maradona, then Messi, and now you have Jamal. We easily play with teams that outplay each other. It is more difficult for us to play with the Germans and teams from those areas, unlike the Spaniards who play loose football. You have to enter every game with a winning spirit, if you lose, give a hand and move on .

The double match with Bayern Munich remains in his heart.

- Of course, the most important matches are those in the Champions League and the final. My favorite match is against Bayern Munich at home, and if we are talking about away games, also Bayern away. Such teams were constantly causing us problems, and we showed the world that there is a solution for what they have. Through fighting, courage and giving our best, we reached a positive result - pointed out Binić.
