Vladan Milojević, the head of the professional staff of Crvena zvezda, expressed his expectations before the duel between our team and Vojvodina from Novi Sad, within the 14th round of the Serbian Super League, which will take place tomorrow from 5 pm at the "Rajko Mitić" stadium.

At the beginning, the strategist of our team expressed his condolences to the families of the tragic victims in Novi Sad. 

- First of all, I want to express my deepest condolences to the families of the victims. The tragedy that happened left an impression on all of us. The match against Vojvodina will begin with a minute of silence and it will be dedicated to all those who tragically lost their lives, but also to the people who suffered serious injuries and for whose health we pray. It is extremely difficult for all of us because of the tragedy that befell us, our thoughts are with the families of the victims - said Milojević. 

Nenad Lalatović will not be able to count on the captain of the team - Njegoš Petrović in the upcoming match.

- Njegoš has really good games behind him, he established himself as the leader of the team. He is a player who in every sense means a lot to the team from Novi Sad, and on the other hand, I am sure that they have good replacements for him. They have players like Medojević and Poletanović, they are all internationals and players with great experience. It remains to be seen how it will affect the game of Novi Sad. 

Zvezda's coach pointed out that Vojvodina must be respected, but also expects a great duel.

- It is important to respect the opponent, I think that Vojvodina is currently one of the teams that aspires to the Serbian Cup and the national championship, regardless of the fact that they are currently behind in points. They also changed the coach, Mr. Lalatović brought some new energy, he is certainly a man who knows Vojvodina, who is loved by the fans and I am sure that he will get the most out of them. They have a "wide" and good roster with a large number of domestic and foreign players, with fast wingers, who showed great quality in the domestic championship, in which they now have considerable experience. They have been there for a long time, but Vojvodina is such a team that you have to pay attention to every player. Before every game, we prepare for the team as a whole, and it will be the same this time. I expect a good and strong match, and I am sure that it will live up to expectations. 

The health balance remained unchanged. 

- Regarding the injuries and medical problems we have with the players, nothing has changed. Everyone who has been available so far is healthy, so we will see what line-up we will have tomorrow.

Vladan Milojević spoke highly of the head of Vojvodina's profession - Nenad Lalatović.

- Nenad Lalatović is a very good coach, regardless of the fact that he is young, he has a lot of experience, and I think he is one of the best coaches in the Super League. Wherever he was, he produced excellent results, he has phenomenal energy, he knows how to create that synergy in the dressing room, he gets the most out of the players. On the other hand, he is a great worker, and he showed that with his results. Our league needs coaches like Lalatović.

The permanent defender - Miloš Degenek, returned to the field after a year in the Serbian Cup match against Tekstilac.

- Miloš had a very long break. After more than a year he returned, he worked in silence, hard and diligently, what he experienced was not at all a naive injury. I am very glad that he is back, he is part of the team, we have him in mind, but we will see, there is quite a lot of competition, he will certainly help a lot until the end of the championship.

Uroš Sremčević and Aleksandar Katai were among the best on the field in the convincing victory of Crvena zvezda over Tekstilec, with a score of 0:7.

- Katai is a very important "screw" in our team and every time he is on the field, he has a great influence on our game. On the other hand, the more experienced Katai is, the more goals mean to young Uroš Sremčević, who is training with us and shows great desire and progress. I am glad that the reward for him came in the form of goals, I hope that this is only his beginning. He is progressing from game to game, both with us and with the Graficar team, so let him continue like that.

Zvezda's coach also touched on the match in the Serbian Cup.

- There are always mistakes that need to be corrected, not because of my dissatisfaction, but because it is a normal process that every team goes through. All those mistakes in the game need to be corrected, in many cases it depends on the opponent, but on the other hand, a lot depends on you. We had a good relationship, which we should have in every game. Apart from that, I will never take it as a bad thing, football is the "life" of the game, and mistakes are an integral part of it.

The Slovenian representative - Vanja Drkušić, has also recovered from his injury.

- Vanja has problems, and I think he can give a lot more when he is "freed" from all the pains surrounding the injuries that "torture" him. When a player returns from an injury, he needs two or three weeks of competitive rhythm, to come back and find the "right" form. He is slowly getting into the rhythm and we need to be careful with him, because we must not "lose" players through injuries anymore.

In the ranks of Vojvodina there are also players who wore the Red Star jersey in their career. 

- Many players wore the Red Star jersey, but they are now playing for their club, so I have no doubt that they will do their best professionally and try to represent Vojvodina in the best light. On the other hand, it's nice to see so many players who played for us, it shows their quality. 

Finally, Vladan Milojević compared tomorrow's match with the one that the two clubs played in the final of the Serbian Cup.

- I certainly expect a good match, I think that Vojvodina plays "open", attacking football. Compared to the match in the Serbian Cup, they have a changed team, but also quality players. I am sure that we will watch an interesting duel - underlined Milojević.
