Pančev: The reward for winning the derby? Puna Marakana against Zelezničar

- I watched the derby. A really nice victory for Red Star. The big point difference is already at the beginning of the championship and that suits Zvezda. Objectively, Zvezda looked much better and absolutely dominated the eternal derby. We deservedly won, which was expected considering that we are a more stable club, but also that we have a better team on the field. With a 0:4 victory on the side after eight years away from home, we broke a negative tradition, and I believe that Zvezda will manage to win the title this season as well - the famous goalscorer pointed out.

Pančev spoke highly of Endiaje, but also of young Maksimović.

- The sheriff showed that "the sheriff" is on the field. I congratulate him. It's nice to score a hat-trick in any game, especially when it's the eternal derby. The first hat-trick since 1968 was seen, and it is well known how strong and hard derbies are. Sheriff broke the record in a big game like the derby and that is to be respected. Young Maksimović has shown that he possesses quality and talent. Coach Milojević, who likes young players, gave him a chance, which is great. Andrija is the future of the club, I wish him all the best in his career and I hope that he will make us happy with the games in Zvezda .

Before Vladan Milojević's team is a match against Železničar on Friday at 19:00 at the Maracana, and then a trip to Milan to face Inter. Darko Pancev points out that the players deserved support after the victory in the eternal derby.

- Fans never need a special invitation to come to the game. They showed in difficult moments that they are always with the club. There are always more than 15 or 20 thousand fans in the north, which always shows loyalty. I believe that it will be the same against Železničar and that Marakana could be full as a reward for a great game in the eternal derby. We should not worry too much about the Champions League games, because there are opponents who are at a high level. It is important that we play a good game, but without pressure to score - Pančev concluded.
