Ahead of the match between Crvena zvezda and Bodø/Glimt, which is scheduled for Wednesday, 28 August at Marakana, former centre-forward Dragan Mićić announced that the red-and-whites could achieve a turnaround in the result at Marakana, as it was in 1997 when our club eliminated HJK Helsinki.

- It was a real uncertain game at the Maracana, after the defeat in Finland. There were specific conditions on the away field and we lost the match, but in Belgrade in front of our audience it was completely different. We found ourselves in a better position in front of a full Maracana, which gave us the wind at our backs. We were almost sure that we would manage to make up for the result and turn the game in our favor. The fans created a great atmosphere at the match against Helsinki. It was much easier for us to pass in front of the star players and the packed Maracana - said Dragan Mićić.

The former ace of Red Star believes that the current first team on the same date as 27 years ago will do a great feat against Boda Glimt, as well as his generation that conquered Helsinki.

- Maracana will be a key factor. In front of a full stadium, it will be extremely difficult for Bode Glimt's team to play in their style. They won't have possession, Bode Glimt's footballers simply won't be able to implement their game from Norway at the Maracana. The fans will certainly create a great atmosphere, and I believe that the rival will be in a subordinate position and will defend. I am sure that Crvena Zvezda will go to the group stage of the Champions League. Bode is not an opponent we should be afraid of, but we will certainly be careful. I don't know how many opportunities they had to play such games in front of a full stadium, but I'm sure that when they run out in front of a full Maracana, it won't be easy for them - Mićić concluded.
