On Tuesday, November 7, from 4 p.m., the Crvena Zvezda under-18 team will welcome the German RB Leipzig at the "FK Voždovac" stadium in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage. Full of optimism before the match, the head of the professional staff of our team, Nenad Milijaš, as well as the captain of the team, Aleksej Vukičević.
- We tied two victories in the domestic championship, after the defeat in Germany, which was essential for us in terms of self-confidence. The boys psychologically rose and created a strong group among themselves, where they see each other as friends. These are the factors destined for success. Before us is an extremely important duel against an excellent opponent. Analyzing the match in Leipzig, we had the opportunity to get to know our rival up close and make sure of the strengths and weaknesses it possesses. All that will help us in the preparation of the game, so that they can play even better. The players are ready, motivated and eager to prove themselves on the big stage. This will be an opportunity to once again achieve a positive result in front of the home crowd and fans, who I am sure will support the young players. Looking at the table, it seems that we have an imperative to win, but on the contrary, our goal is player development. The result will come as a result of dedicated work, great commitment and football quality - said Nenad Milijaš.
The captain of the Belgrade red and white youth team, Aleksej Vukičević, believes in the team's team and individual quality, and wishes for a positive result at home.
- We saw in Germany that we can be equal with Leipzig and even beat them, although the result did not show that in the end. The defeat was really hard for us, but now is an opportunity to show with a good game that we are still in the game and that we have the quality for the European spring. We have quality, a good team, team chemistry, and I am sure we will achieve a positive result. We train well, we play well, and as I said, we really know them well, which will be seen in the game - said the young defender.
