The new captain of Crvena zvezda - Aleksandar Dragović summarized everything that was done at Zlatibor in the previous seven days, where our players played two control games.

- We have a new coach and we strive for a slightly different style of football compared to before, which is evident. We are working on it, there is a lot of room for improvement and the most important thing is that no one got hurt. We won in two matches, now the second part of the preparations in Russia follows - began Dragović.

The weather varied, first it was extremely warm, then it rained...

- It's better for training when it's raining, because it was too hot in Belgrade, literally 35 degrees. However, we were a little hungry for the sun at the end. Of course, it can also snow, we will train, we are used to it, we are professionals.

It is noticeable that most of Barak Bahar's football philosophy is based on pressing.

- It's completely different, every day I go to sleep at half past 11, because I'm too tired. We force the pressing, that's what our coach wants, and it's very tiring, but it's good that it's like that, because you can see that he wants us to progress and be ready for the Champions League.

The captain only had words of praise for the young people.

- All credit to them for how hard they try and how much they want to impose themselves. I can see for myself how hard training is for me, and I have much more preparation than them. I'm literally watching so I don't pass out. They, without question, follow that pace and I can only say to them - "hats off".

Despite two triumphs, Dragović sees room for improvement.

- We trained really well, achieved two victories, and the most important thing is that there were no injuries. We still have work to do, there is room for improvement.

The intensity was such that, apart from training and sleeping, there was almost no space for anything else.

- Everything about training is difficult. Literally every day on Zlatibor I just trained and slept, I had no energy for anything else - underlined Dragović.
