Something unusual happened in Serbian football when 11 bonus footballers took to the field on Saturday from 20:00 for our development team, the team of Graficars led by Marko Neđić from the bench.

Neđić started the match with the following lineup: Guteša (2002) - Matić (2004), Vukičević (2005), Ogbu (2004), Đurić (2006) - Vasiljević (2002), Ćurić (2003), Petrović (2006), Stojanović ( 2003)- Mijatović (2003), Mladenović (2002), and the fact that the results do not suffer because of youth, if the team is good, was once again confirmed, given that the score after 90 minutes was 1:3. Two more bonuses got a chance from the bench: Ajdar (2003) and Radojević (2004), which made the team even younger.

The projectile, and then the routine finish of midfielder Andrej Petrović, born in 2006, who caught the eye of the football public back in the season behind us when he played for the Serbian under-17 national team and was one of the best players of our team in the tournament, were additionally launched him among the sphere of interest of stars. There is no doubt that this is a guy who has a bright future in the Zvezda first team, and two goals on his debut in senior football only further confirm that he is a great talent. A great impression was also left by his classmate - David Đurić, also a young man who is not yet of legal age, and who clearly appreciates the great trust of Marko Neđić.

- I couldn't imagine a better debut in senior football. I started the game, I scored two goals, and the team won in a difficult away game. I would like to thank the coaching staff, led by coach Nedić, who gave me the opportunity from the start of the game, despite the fact that I am not yet 18 years old. Nevertheless, we all showed together that even though we are an extremely young team, we have quality and can play good football. The goal is to continue like this, and as far as I'm concerned, I'm going step by step. I'm never satisfied, I'm focused on the future, and of course I see myself as Zvezda's child in the first team. I will work hard for it and I hope that I will have this kind of debut at the Maracana as well - said Petrović.

The victory was confirmed with a goal by Strahinja Stojanović, this year's acquisition of Graficar, whom those with a slightly better memory remember from the time when, as a youth, he played for the first team of Proleter against Crvena zvezda and left a fantastic impression. The smile on Marko Nedjić's face after the triumph...

- I think we have broken the prejudices that children cannot bring results, quite the opposite. If children are worked with properly and if a winning mentality is instilled in them from a young age, then they are ready to bravely confront older and more experienced players on the field, and these are the fruits of the work of the Crvena Zvezda Youth School. You saw, we had 11 bonus players on the field, two more came from the bench, the average of the team is about 19 years old. Many of them met senior football for the first time and that was at a difficult and important away game for us, but I am proud that they went to the game without fear and completely relaxed. There will of course be fluctuations, after all, they are young players, but they have a bright future ahead of them and everyone who loves football should be a regular at our games and support Zvezda's children. I am certainly proud of the fact that we set a precedent in Serbian football and I can only say that we will continue to work on the development of players - said Nedjić, and then he looked back at the match.

- There were many opportunities on both sides, but we have to be better in execution. It's nice that we are creating chances, but we have to score goals from them. However, I am satisfied with the victory and the way we reached the triumph, as well as with how the children coped with an older and more experienced team. A lot of nice actions, a lot of integrated situations from training, but of course there are also many things to correct. We want to grow from match to match, the result is not a priority in that sense, but building a winning mentality among young footballers - Neđić pointed out, and Grafičar will have a new challenge already on Friday from 17:30 when they will meet Jedinstvo from Ub.
