Our Buducnost is leaving for Antalya late tonight, and through Tirana and Istanbul, the “blue champions” should be accommodated in the Kempinski Hotel in Belek tomorrow morning.
The absolute leader of the domestic championship trained in the gym this morning, he will work on the green rectangle in the afternoon, and he will stay in the fashionable Turkish summer resort from January 27 to February 10.
“I hope that the weather conditions will be as good as they are in Antalya, in order to get away from the rain and bad weather. On the other hand, we will have strong opponents, which we need, because the plan is to try to prepare in the best possible way for both the championship and what awaits us in Europe, “said the head of the professional staff, Mladen Milinković.
“Plavi” will compete in the “football El Dorado” with Olimpik from Donetsk (January 30), Dnipro (February 3), Rotor from Volgograd (February 6), Krylya Sovietivoy (February 7) and Kairat (9. February).
“Our first rival convincingly defeated Radnik and Spartak, as well as much stronger teams, and that shows that we have chosen good opponents who will be able to give us a true picture of strength and quality. We will not be in the same period as the opponents – e.g. Olimpik will have the sixth game with us, and only the third for us – we are not burdened with results, but we want to play competitively “, said the 52-year-old from Loznica, aware that our team has played two friendly matches so far in which they defeated Adria (4: 0) and Kom (4: 1).
The head of the professional staff and his assistants made it clear to the first team that it will not be easy for them in Antalya, and that they will have a difficult training before the sparring matches.
“You know how, players might think they’re just playing games there. No, before every match, except before Kairat, we will have a shock training so that the players under pressure and not recovering enough from the training play the match. We simply want to see how they cope in such a situation. The results are not primary in the preparations, because they are more important to us in the championship. “
26 players are going to the preparations – three goalkeepers: Miloš Dragojević, Đorđije Pavličić, Nemanja Jevrić and 23 football players: Miomir Đuričković, Petar Grbić, Vladan Adžić, Draško Božović, Igor Ivanović, Velizar Janketić, Igor Ćuković, Bogdan Milić, Marko Mrvaljević, Aleksandar Vujačić , Anto Babic, Luka Mirkovic, Vasilije Terzic, Marko Vucic, Velimir Vlahovic, Jovan Dasic, Aleksa Cetkovic, Damjan Dakic, Viktor Djukanovic, Vladimir Perisic, Andrija Raznatovic, Milos Raickovic and Dejan Zarubica. And the entire expedition was tested for a new corona virus before the trip and all passengers were negative.
“It is extremely important, because it would not be good if one of the players had to miss the preparations. I am happy because of the test results, I think that we were responsible, that we were careful and adhered to the measures as much as possible. We go to the preparations happy and satisfied “, underlined Milinković.
