Drkušić: The Maracana dream fulfilled, a spectacle against Benfica

- We achieved a very important victory that gives us the wind at our back for Thursday. Napredak is a quality team, but we showed a good game and constantly attacked during the 90 minutes. It could have been more convincing, but the rival defended really well. All in all, we are happy with the win, and excited for what awaits us in the Champions League. For me, playing at the Maracana was a boyhood dream, and I'm overjoyed and proud to have made it come true. It's hard to describe it all in words, but I feel perfect. Now preparations are starting for the match with Benfica, for which I hope that the Maracana will be filled and that we will give the fans a real spectacle - began Drkušić.

The Slovenian national team player adapted to Zvezda, very quickly.

- A person quickly gets used to good things. It's true, my teammates welcomed me very well, Timi, whom I know from the national team, also helps me a lot, but I've already created a good relationship with everyone. I like that we are an extremely disciplined team, that we know exactly who is doing what and that we are all united around the club's success. The professional staff is also great, I absorb the advice and try to adapt everything that is asked of me as quickly as possible. I repeat, I can't wait for the match with Benfica, I know what kind of atmosphere our fans will create. Playing the Champions League in Zvezda's jersey at the Maracana is the essence of football for me - concluded Drkušić.
