Spajić: Full Maracana, brave Zvezda and the Champions League

- We gave them too much initiative, we had to be a little more aggressive, we let them play a lot, and it got out of control. We stormed the first half, in the second we agreed to come out braver. However, it didn't work out, and only after that we started to play the right way. We were braver, we scored a goal, the second one was hanging in the air, but this is proof that we can and must, that this is how we should enter the game. We gave them too much respect, it cost us the defeat. I expect a full Maracana, a braver Zvezda and a passage on - began Spajić.

He emphasizes the last period of the game and says that it is the key to the passage to the Champions League.

- The goal we scored and the last 20-30 minutes give us strength. It is a model that lets us know how we should play. They are such a team, they like to run a lot, they have a lot of transition, we have to accept that. We have to respond with aggression, the last 30 minutes are an indicator, and I expect a more aggressive game at the Maracana.

He congratulated Ognjen Mimović on his debut.

- I am very happy for him that he scored a goal. This means to every young player and let him continue in the same rhythm - said Spajić.
