Ivan Novović celebrated his 33rd birthday yesterday, and there have been reasons to celebrate since Sunday when he registered his second assist in the Easter round since he came to the “blue-white” club in the winter, and continued to push the boundaries in terms of home records competition.
The experienced left-hander has the most games in the Montenegrin Football League since the new independence of Montenegro, and in the previous 31st round he made his 430th appearance in our national championship.
Convincing victory over Podgorica (5: 1) away, another better game and an assist to Ante Babić from the corner for 4: 0 – that’s where we started …
“The match against Podgorica came after a great performance in the semifinals of the Cup against Sutjeska pod Gorica, and we entered the match in a great mood. We opened the game in the right way with a quick goal, and after that everything was easier. The team is in a phenomenal moment, I hope that our form will last as long as possible “, said Novović, who was a” team player “in every club wherever he played.
“I will always do my best to benefit the team. I am glad for the assistance, but it is more important for me that we continued with the victories because we are all satisfied. The result is in the first place, especially in a club like Buducnost. “
Miroje Jovanovic retired from football last summer as a record holder with 420 games in the CFL – the former football player of Zeta, Russian Krasnodar, OFK Titograd and Decic moved the rankings.
“I am proud of the fact that I have played so many matches. Now it doesn’t seem like an important piece of information, but if the record stays in force for 10-15 years, it will surely impress me. On the other hand, I am sorry that I did not stay abroad longer, but only that one season in Krasnodar “, the native of Podgorica returns to 2010.
Wherever he played, he gave his all and was in the service of the team, and the results came – with Zeta he had notable roles in Europe, with OFK Titograd he won three trophies (title 2016, two Cups 2015 and 2018) and played against Sevilla , and with Dečić he performed in the premiere participation in European competitions. But…
“I feel the most beautiful now. It would definitely be the most beautiful feeling for me if I won the Cup with a club that I follow and love since I first met the ball “, Novović tells us, and then returns to previous clubs …
“I haven’t changed too many teams and I certainly have fond memories of each one. With Zeta, I achieved the greatest club reach of Montenegrin clubs on the Euro scene by playing the playoffs to enter the group stage of the Europa League, with the then Mladost, in addition to the trophy, I played famous European matches, clashing with Sevilla, which later won LE, while I played with Decic. on their first trip to Europe. “
As someone who stepped on the first league pitches for the first time in the 2007/08 season. it can testify to what the league was like before and what it is like today. Or what the infrastructure was like then, and what it is like now. However, he says that we are all on the same task.
“This is a question that is always asked and commented on by everyone in our society, even those who do not have many points of contact with football. I am for everyone to be on the same path, to work on the prosperity of Montenegrin football because we all need it, and not to be divided. I mean all participants in football, starting with football players, coaches, through people who run clubs and the Federation, to the media and our entire society, because only together can we move forward. “Great strides have been made in all fields of football, but we must all continue to work on making it even better, so we will celebrate the remarkable results together.”
Ivan Novović is definitely one of the most experienced in our team and he is delighted with the talent of young players …
“I think that the quality possessed by Djukanovic, Mijovic and Raznatovic is for the strongest European leagues. It is up to them to work on themselves and develop their career in the right way, and I think they have all the prerequisites for that. There are many more talented guys in our team and I think they have a bright future ahead of them. “
“Plavi” will play against Dečić near Gorica at the weekend at 19.00, and they are currently in a series of six victories with a goal difference of 18: 3 …
“We are going game by game, because for now it has proven to be a winning combination. The next opponent is the team Dečica, which has a great team, but I expect the continuation of the positive series. By the end of the season, I expect us to continue with a series of victories, and the crown of everything would be winning the Cup, “said Ivan Novović at the end.
