The Red Star football players are expected to host Inter in the Champions League tomorrow at 9 p.m., and Vladan Milojević, the head of our team's coaching staff, expressed his expectations before the game.
- Inter is a championship team that aspires to the Scudetto again this year, and has high goals in the Champions League as well. They have quality in all positions, they are players with international experience, national team members. Inter has established a system that has been maintained for years, and accordingly they only select the players they need for a given match .
He also revealed why Zvezda did not train at Giuseppe Meazza, but in Belgrade.
- We have a tight schedule, and this is a decision to have more training in Belgrade. We played on Friday, and we wanted to practice more.
Glazer traveled with the team.
- Glazer is fine. An MRI was done, and there is nothing to indicate an injury. We will see tomorrow before the game if they will defend.
Information appeared in the Italian media that Inter will play with two strikers
- We are talking about Arnautovic, Taremi, Lautaro... If you could choose who you want to play against, it would be difficult. There is no underestimation, just the coach's plans. When you play a game, you have an opponent across from you on the basis of which you make plans .
He also spoke about the preparation of Drkušić.
- We cannot put a player who is not ready to play, if we are talking about the fact that I have been asked this question before. If you put an unprepared player on the field, you risk injury and reduce his performance. We have a medical team, fitness trainers and it's a science, you can't just look at it. It is not possible for a player to train twice after an injury and play. Vanja played at the weekend, he is a very important player for us. We will see if he will play tomorrow .
Milojević does not think that playing Maksimović tomorrow is a "risk" and praises Prucev.
- Why would that be a risk? He deserved the chance and justified the trust. I also want to talk about Prucev, who wasn't even there last year, and he deserves to be talked about. It is up to both of them to keep quiet, work and listen, and when they deserve it - they will get a chance. Sometimes the well-deserved "reward" is a little late, but in the end it is as it should be .
About details at the top level of football.
- When you play at the top level, you have to be disciplined and concentrated for 90 minutes. I'm not talking about motivation that goes without saying. We must not have an idle run, because teams like Inter punish that. We have to be brave, to attack when we need to, to defend ourselves. So let's be constant throughout the entire 90 minutes, without falling .
Praise Milojević Italian football.
- I appreciate the Italian coaches very much. I had the opportunity to observe Pioli's training sessions when he was the coach of Bologna, and across from me was the great Carlo Ancelotti in the match .
The legend of Zvezda and Inter is Dejan Stanković.
- I haven't heard from Deki, we all fell in love with Inter because of him. We star players are glad that Dejan made such a name for himself at Inter, but we didn't hear from each other before the game .
Milojević appreciates the consistency that Inter has in terms of its system.
- Inter has a good system. There are young and motivated players, but also experienced players who decide the game with a move. The game lasts 90 minutes, we have to pay attention to that. All big clubs basically work like that. I'm not talking about the organization of the club, but about the field. We have a nice example of Bayer Leverkusen. It is not easy for coaches, because there is no time in football. We live from results. Sometimes you want to set up a system, but there is no patience .
Italian journalists were also interested in whether Milojević has a special tactic for Çahanoğlu.
- I don't know if he will play? Will they? He is an important player, a key player in the middle of the field - underlined Milojević.
