Red Star has met Inter twice in its history so far, and the actor of the double-header from the 1980/81 season was Mile Jovin, who recalled the duel at Giuseppe Meazza, as well as the rematch at the Maracana.
- We played well in Italy and came back with a positive result. I remember that Šestić "turned" for Repčić, and he scored a great shot. It was a great atmosphere at Giuseppe Meazza, but I must admit that it was much better in Belgrade. We had the opportunity to secure passage in front of our fans. However, we had a lot of chances that we didn't take advantage of, and we were also disturbed by Murar's goal in the early part of the match. I played that match injured, they gave me two injections, which were not effective, so I left the game after the first half. It's a big regret that we didn't advance, we had a good result in Milan, but here we didn't manage to implement what we trained for - said Jovin.
Zvezda has a chance to return home from Milan with a positive result.
- Of course, Inter is an excellent team, a giant of European football. They have excellent footballers, which they bring for considerable figures, but besides all that, they don't seem convincing to me. Zvezda will certainly look for chances and opportunities from the counterattack, we have very fast players, and it will be very difficult for Inter to respond to our team's play. If everything goes well, I think we can score a point on Giuseppe Meazza .
The big bad thing is that the red and white will not have the help of great fans.
- That is a really big problem. I speak on behalf of all generations that have ever set foot on Maracana and played for Zvezda. They always give us more motivation to show our best on the field, and when we don't do well, they cheer even harder and give us a big wind at our backs. It's a pity that they won't be able to be with their cousins in Italy .
He spoke highly of Andrija Maksimović and his great talent.
- We haven't had a football player like that for a long time. It's a big deal when you make your debut in the eternal derby at the age of 17. He played a top game and showed incredible quality and great talent with a couple of moves. I hope that he will get more and more minutes, because he is the great hope of Red Star and he can bring us a lot in the future - concluded Jovin.
