The youth team of Red Star was defeated by Manchester City with a score of 5:2 in the first round of the group stage of the Youth Champions League, and the head of the coaching staff, Nenad Milijas, expressed his impressions after the match.
- The boys did their best. We spent ourselves, but in the end the result was convincing. I'm sorry that we conceded a goal towards the end of the first half, because the game could have gone the other way. This is how we went into the game with less confidence and conceded two quick goals. But this is a great experience for us and there is a lot to see and learn - Milijaš began.
It does not deviate from the main goal, which is to pass the group.
- I told them not to fall, because the game is still on and we are not deviating from what our goal is. We still have five games ahead of us, three of which are at home, we also need Manchester City to come to Belgrade, so we will fight to the end and try to get through the group. There is no doubt that today we lost to a team that knew what they wanted at all times, where we were good in the first half, and physically failed in the second half - underlined Milijaš.
