The football players of Buducnost were eliminated in the 1st round of qualifications for the Champions League – Ludogorets celebrated the result 1: 3 in Podgorica.
After 25 minutes of the game, our team had two minus goals, Iginjo and Čibota scored for the guests. Only after the goals of Ludogorets, the “blues” started to play and the right approach paid off in the 31st minute when Igor Ćuković reduced it to 1: 2.
The pressure of Buducnost followed, the chances were reduced, and one of the better ones was Igor Ivanović, the ball went a few centimeters past the goal post after his shot.
The great desire was present with the selected player Mladen Milinković and in the second half, it was felt that our team wanted to equalize, went for all or nothing and at certain moments was a much better rival than the opponent. However, as time passed, so did the fatigue, so the guests from Bulgaria reached the third goal in the referee’s compensation and resolved the issue of the winner.
Below we send you the statement of the misterMladen Milinković, after the match Buducnost – Ludogorets.
“I am glad to have heard nice words from a colleague because we know who Vrba is and what he has done in European football. I come from the locker room where our players are depressed – they are hurt by the headlines they read on our portals “Powerless Future”. Either I don’t understand Vrba, or we didn’t watch the same game. The future was not impossible. I’m disappointed we didn’t pass, but I’m proud of the players. Now I am even more convinced that Buducnost will be better and better. Maybe the people who live and follow here should express their personal dissatisfaction through comments. Maybe this is not even nice to say from my side, but if someone needs to protect football players, I am the one “, with these words, misterMilinković started addressing the public.
“Spend 45 days in quarantine, train only 20 days after that and play three games, it is certainly not enough to oppose Ludogorets. However, the players have found the strength and will and I don’t want to say what would happen if it happened. “Without Grbić and Božović, to play like this against Ludogorets, and I watched them many times, it is certain that we did not embarrass ourselves, but we represented our club and the city and Montenegrin football with dignity,” the mister continued.
Milinković concluded: “Certainly we were not in the rhythm we wanted for the first 20 minutes, I think the players’ fear was lost when they conceded the second goal and realized that they had nothing more to lose.”
Our champions are waiting for their rival in the second round of qualifications for the Europa League, and they will meet the upcoming weekend on Sunday, August 23 at 8 pm, in the second championship game of Sjutjeska.
