The youth team of Crvena Zvezda will play the third match of the group stage of the Champions League against RB Leipzig in Germany on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m., and the expectations before the match were expressed by the head of the coaching staff, Nenad Milijaš.
- Over the past month, we have gone through a demanding mini cycle of games, where we include duels against Manchester City and Young Boys, as well as meetings in the Youth League of Serbia. After that, we used the representative break to thoroughly prepare for everything that awaits us in the coming period. The last match we played was the eternal derby, and having played it many times in my career, wearing the red and white jersey, I know how much it not only physically, but also emotionally tires the players. However, I am very satisfied with the way the young footballers approach their duties, specifically training and matches. We are working diligently to prepare for the match against RB Leipzig and we know that a demanding duel awaits us. I believe in the boys and I am sure that they will give their best, all in order to prepare the players for the first team of Red Star - said Milijaš.
One of the heroes of the match against the Swiss representative - Novak Gojkov, points out that the team is impatiently waiting for the trip to Germany.
- The Youth Champions League is a big stage where we want to show the strength of Zvezda's football academy. I believe that we succeeded against Young Boys, when we played a very good match, fulfilling the technical and tactical details. I scored a goal in that match and I'm always there to help the team, but I'd be equally happy if any of my teammates found the back of the net. We know it won't be easy against RB Leipzig, especially when we saw they drew with Manchester City. However, we are traveling to Germany to compete and present Red Star in its full glory - stressed Novak Gojkov.
