Milojević: Good energy and motivation lead to the semi-finals

- We always play with the best team, and it will be the same tomorrow. We have to respect football and let the players who played well against Čukaricki keep their place in the team so that they can get a sufficient dose of energy and motivation before the match through rotations - Milojević began.

He recalled the previous duel with Napredka when we played 1:1 in Kruševac.

- We played a match before the national team break against them... They have a way of playing that suits them, they are good at breaking and use the space, if they are bad behind the ball. In the previous match, they took advantage of the fact that we changed a lot, not player for player, as it happens that in breaks where you have the best jumper, due to a change in the team and the desire to speed up, there is a football player who is not good at jumping. This is where the problem arises, but it is normal and must be calculated. It was a situation where we had continuous three, four mistakes, bad set-up and reaction, from which follows the penalty. So, Napredak can be unpleasant, they will not lack motivation, because the cup is such a competition where one game decides everything, so we have no right to make a mistake. We need a good game and energy to go further.

Zvezda shone against Čukarički on the weekend and won 4:0.

- I don't know if we are four goals better than them, but the important thing is that we won. When the ratio is good and the demands are met, you don't have to play the "strongest" team to win, and that was the case on Sunday. I'm happy for the guys who played well, they put me through a lot of trouble when choosing the team.

About the health bulletin with an accent on Rakonjec and Spajić.

- Not everyone is ready, but we will know more after today's training. If Rakonjac's physical status allows, he should start tomorrow. As for Spajić, he is ready for 30-40 minutes, possibly half time. Everything depends on the game and the intensity, whether there are a lot of duels or if it is pure football. We will certainly try to introduce it as best as possible for everyone - underlined Milojević.
