The match between the two eternal rivals ended 0:0, and Miloš Milojević expressed his impressions after the match.

- This was a derby that does not promote the derby, but affects it in a negative context. I think a goal on one side or the other would have changed a lot, this is how we went in attack to not concede a goal, and that was not our goal, however, sometimes you can't control 15 players. We tried with changes, got a good penetration from Mitrović and that's all. They also had their chances, I congratulate them on a fair and correct game. From a contentious derby, where both teams had their opportunities, the score remained 0:0, and my main impression is how difficult it is to play these games, even when the result is not important. I told the players to play football and it's my fault if we lose, but it's obviously stronger than them. I don't know if it's the importance, the tension - Milojević began.

Zvezda is expecting a match with Čukaricki already on Sunday from 17:00, and then the battle to win the cup.

- We are not thinking about the cup, first about Čukaricki. We have four days to rest and play better, with more energy and to be more efficient.

Milojević analyzed the game in more detail.

- There was no audience, but we played hard, meaningfully. A goal was missing to open the game, on both sides, it would have been different, like this, there were many opportunities that did not lead to a goal, so it was tough for the derby. No audience, no goals, an impression of emptiness. I don't have much to complain about my players except that we could have been stronger in the second half, to continue as in the first half, but as if we felt the superiority and "fell asleep" on it. Partizan also had chances, it is not an alibi, they have good individuals, but they are going through a difficult period, however, it is more suitable for them to play against a team with possession. In the league, they can only do that against us, and you saw that they played like that in Europe and managed to solve things in their favor. We reacted well to their counters, except in two situations. Unfortunately, we lacked a goal and more passion in our eyes.

Milojević spoke about his status on the bench.

- It is a process that exists in every club, especially a big one like Zvezda, to look for better players and coaches. I know that, but I'm on the bench today. I don't know if I will be there on May 15 or June 30, I don't think about it. I am a fan of Zvezda and I wish my club all the best. Personally, I would like Ancelotti to sit on the bench, because he guarantees the titles, and for me to sit in the box and applaud, I really have no problem with that. I'm dealing with what happened today, why we didn't win and how we can beat Chuka on Sunday, and play as well as possible in the cup.

Zvezda lacked a goal, that's the main impression.

- Several players had to be sharper, more determined. Several times Ivanić was able to finish on his own, so Vig lacked finesse. We also tortured them on that right side, but they also tortured us. However, it is top football and we need that for top games and Europe. For matches against weaker players, details can be omitted, but in derbies they are important - underlined Milojević.
