Milojević: We can't wait to see the fans at the stadium on Saturday

- We have an interesting match behind us, considering the fact that we played it on the last day before leaving for Belgrade. We played against a team that has an absolutely different style of play, coming from another continent. In preparation for the match, we expected a hard game, strong duels, a lot of interruptions, however, what is good and positive is that we learned a lot of lessons from this game, which will mean us in the future. Regardless of the result, what is important is that all the games we played in Russia mean a lot to the young players, for the first time they encounter such intensities, where they have to react quickly. These games will certainly give us a full picture, and even before the tournament we already knew a lot of things, so we want to create a system and keep the continuity of the game during 90 minutes - Vladan Milojević pointed out.

The strategist of our team also spoke about young football players.

- They work very well. I think that Crvena Zvezda has a lot of young players at the moment and a lot of players who have come as well, you need to get used to this system and the game in Crvena Zvezda. What is good is that we also have more experienced footballers, who work well, are valuable, and matches like this can only help us, especially for them to gain experience. When the championship starts and the pressure of results, the audience will be present, the pressure of the public, these are some things that they need to understand gradually, that they play in a big club and that they have to bear it. I think they have it in their character. As a coach, I always try to convey that to them in training with the coaching staff, but the games against Sochi, Zenit and Tagliares should be felt, to see what it's like when it's hard, what a competitive game is. We need to compete through playing and enjoying football, and it is not easy to combine those two things.

Vladan Milojević also referred to his stay in Russia, where the red and whites did the second part of the preparations.

- It was extremely good for us here, I thank the hosts, we had phenomenal conditions. It was not easy, after Zlatibor we continued our work in Russia, many players joined us only in the second part. We have an imbalance of certain physical preparation among certain players, but that's the calendar. On the one hand, the players must get mental and physical rest, and on the other hand, they must make up for what they missed, because all this is the basis for further competition and the long season that awaits us.

He had the head of our team's coaching staff and a message for the fans.

- We are looking forward to the first game, training is hard for us, we work every day, and all with the aim of being as ready as possible. Friendly matches are one thing, unlike official matches, when the battle for points begins. I expect our fans to come in as large a number as possible, even though I know that the annual holidays are in progress, we should support this team. We have to rest a bit and we can't wait to see them on Saturday at the stadium - concluded Vladan Milojević.
