Youngsters sharpened for Young Boys

The most experienced among Nenad Milijaš is definitely the captain - Stefan Marinković. The net keeper with experience in senior football, this season transfers the acquired knowledge to the whole team, and before the most important match of the season, he believes in victory, which would put Zvezda's youth team back on the right track. Also, he remembers his first Youth Champions League, when he was in Marko Nedjić's team two seasons ago.

- It is a great honor to be the captain of Zvezda in such big matches. Nenad Milijaš trusts me and I try to justify him from match to match. When you play in the Champions League, definitely all the bad games of the season are erased by a big win, and we all want that on Wednesday. The games against St. Patrick's and Empoli are good in my memory, but this is something else, the first group stage for me. As a team we have a great desire to do great things together. Maybe not everything went according to plan at the start of this season, but I am convinced that by winning against Young Boys at home, we have a chance to get back on the right track, and for that we will need support. In this way, as the captain of the team, he would invite the audience to come in as large a number as possible and support us, and we will repay them by working hard on the field - said Marinković.

Veljko Milosavljević, one of the youngest, but also the most standard young players of Crvena zvezda, is no less optimistic than Marinković, and he also recalled the greatest success of our juniors achieved in the 2019/20 season, and believes that something similar can be repeated this competitive year. .

- Against Manchester, we saw what it's like to play with the strongest teams in our age group, and now in the second round, a completely different game awaits us against Young Boys in Voždovac. There are no weak opponents in the Champions League, but the home ground is definitely a mitigating circumstance, because when we go back and go through all the seasons in which we participated in the elite youth competition, only last season against the European champions - AZ Alkmaar were both equal games, as well as the last group stage, when the generation born in 2002 was outstanding and achieved the greatest success, even though they were convincingly defeated only in one away game, namely in England. We have analyzed Young Boys, we are not expecting an easy match, but definitely this match can raise our confidence and be decisive for further placement. We are fully concentrated and can't wait for the match to start - concluded Milosavljević.
