Summary of Zvezda's midfield

In the 2022/23 season, Srđan Mijailović played 29 games and recorded one assist for a goal. He showed excellent performances both in the domestic championship and in the Serbian Cup, and the experienced player was just a little short of scoring the first goal in the red and white jersey. Gelor Kanga had no problems with the realization, who, according to the statistical platform InStat, was the best player of Crvena Zvezda in the season after us. It would be superfluous to talk about the form of the Gabonese, who during the previous competitive year played 43 games and recorded a double-double performance by scoring 16 goals with 13 assists.

One of the players with the most performances was certainly Mirko Ivanić, who wore the red and white jersey 41 times and secured the position of a player who is in the company of footballers who scored a double-digit number of goals - 11 and a double-digit number of clearances for a goal - 15. He was an extremely cheerful guy from Bački Jark in the previous season, and he is unstoppably distributed great balls to his teammates, and one of them is certainly Osman Bukari. The big reinforcement in the summer transfer window of 2022 is represented by the talented winger who impressed with his speed and moves in 42 games. Bukari scored 15 goals, but he also reached the figure of 10 assists, and these data make him one of the most successful players of our team.

The best scorer of Red Star is a football player who is recognizable by the magic in his legs - Aleksandar Katai. Zvezdin Magico played the most games in the red and white jersey in the competitive season behind us, a total of 50. He scored an incredible 19 goals, and 12 times he used his teammates in the right way to shake the opposing nets.

Today, an experienced footballer, and once a child of Zvezda - Slavoljub Srnić recorded 26 appearances and once assisted a goal. Although he did not get a lot of minutes in the previous 11 months, it was extremely difficult for all star players to say goodbye to Nenad Krsticic, who played five games, and in the match against Novi Pazar, he ran onto the field for the last time in a red and white jersey.

Kings Kangwa also enjoyed the trust of the coach, who as a starter, but also when he entered the game from the bench, confirmed that he was part of Red Star for a reason. The young midfielder played 45 games, scored 12 goals and registered six assists. Unlike Kangva, Veljko Nikolić did not play a large number of duels, and throughout the season he was hampered by injuries, which significantly affected the performance of the former student of our club's Youth School. Nikolić played 13 games, managed to beat the opposing goalkeepers twice, and the goal against Trabzonspor on the away field will be remembered when he scored at the end of the match. In addition, he recorded one successful pass for a goal.

Stefan Mitrović arrived at Crvena zvezda towards the end of the summer, and the fast-footed footballer confirmed his quality in 42 games, scoring eight goals and registering 3 assists. Nikola MItuljikic, who made seven appearances, as well as Yegor Prucev, who played 11 matches, with one assist, showed their magnificent talent. Nemanja Motika, who recently left our club, played two matches in the Zvezda jersey in the first part of the season.

Four players who did not finish the 2022/23 season in the red and white jersey also contributed to the success of Crvena Zvezda. Nikola Stanković was loaned to Napredek from Kruševac during the winter transfer window, but in the first part of the competitive year he played seven matches for our club and recorded one assist. Seku Sanogo moved to the French club Paris in January, while in the autumn part of the season he wore the Red Star jersey 21 times in all competitions and recorded one pass for a goal. The talented Vladimir Lučić drew special attention during the summer preparations, who then joined the Čukaricki team as a loan player, and before leaving for the club from Banovo Brdo, he made two appearances for the red and whites.
