Behind the south of the Maracana - Kostov, a player for big games

The young midfielder established himself in the team as one of the most important "screws" of Zvezda's youth team. Despite the fact that he was one of the youngest on the field, at only 16 years old, he did not shy away from taking responsibility. Many times this season he scored goals of great importance, in very important moments of different games, and it was the same in the match against the best youth school in the world - La Masia.

Against a very high-quality opponent from Catalonia, whose team consists of mostly older players than Kostov, our talented player stood out from the very beginning as one of the best individuals on the field. He enjoyed the game with the ball at his feet, and with his moves we caused serious problems for the direct guards on several occasions. Simply, the Barcelona players had no solution for Kostov, who also scored a very attractive goal.

Namely, after a great action by our team, in which the defenders of the Spanish giant were completely out of action, Jovan Šljivić was brought down in an illegal manner in the penalty area. Kostov resolutely took responsibility, even though he is one of the youngest, and what followed caused enthusiasm in the stands. Full of confidence, in the 14th minute of the game, Vasilije Kostov completely deceived the visitors' goalkeeper with a "panenka" from the penalty spot and gave our team an advantage, and once again confirmed that it is a great talent.
