The “Blues” mourned after the elimination from Helsinki, they were depressed, just like last season at the beginning of the season when they did not start in the best way, but they are ready to rise again …
The professional staff analyzed the defeats from the champion of Finland, but football goes further and everyone is already committed to the clash with the HB Torshavn team in the 2nd round of qualifications for the Conference League.
“We have to forget Helsinki, if we constantly think about how badly we played and come back to it, then we can’t move forward. New obligations are ahead of us, we are only thinking about Farani and we want to make a good result in the first game “, said coach Mladen Milinković in our column ‘Monday with the boss’.
Buducnost will play its first match with HB Torshavna on Thursday, July 22, at the Gundadalur Stadium at 8 pm, and the return match is only five days later under Gorica – on July 27 at 8 pm. The “Blues” will set off for the Faroe Islands on Wednesday, and their return is planned for Friday.
“Our league starts at the weekend, and our match with Rudar has been postponed, so all thoughts are turned to two matches with Farani. We will try to improve the impression from the first round and continue the competition in Europe. “Immediately after that game, we will turn to the championship because we will have a duel with Mornar on July 31,” said the 53-year-old from Loznica.
The boss relieved the roster for the weekend by returning some youngsters from the first team to the youth drive.
“We have reduced the fund of players, because Shaleta Kordić and Zoran Petrović have come lately, and we estimated that some of them cannot fight for more minutes. There may be more cuts.”
Our champions in the Faroe Islands will not run in the strongest team again – Igor Ivanović, Draško Božović and Vasilije Terzić did not play against Helsinki, and Terzić and Luka Mirković will not play against Torshavn due to injuries.
“Terzic is still out of action, he is recovering, maybe he will start training with the team tomorrow. He will certainly not be in competition for the first game, and maybe the second. Mirkovic is also out of the line for matches with Farani, “said Milinkovic.
