Vojvodina’s midfielder Dejan Zukić is satisfied after his team’s victory over Jagodina at the start of the competition in the Serbian Cup.
The Old Lady beat Jagodina 5-1 at its stadium on Wednesday, and Zukić played 90 minutes and scored a goal for the final outcome.
– I think that we entered the game to the maximum, that we took the rival seriously and that was felt in our game. Even though we conceded that random goal, we quickly found our rhythm and I knew we would reverse it soon. We gave our best, each of us added gas and I think we played very well and deservedly recorded a convincing victory – said Zukić.
Already on Monday, Vojvodina will have a city derby against Proleter.
– Certainly, the city derby is always an additional motive to prove ourselves and win. Proleter will be strongly motivated against us and that is why we have to approach like in this game, seriously from the first minute. We are going to win, it would be great to continue the winning streak, but with a good performance like in the last two games – Zukić emphasized.
After not getting a chance for a few matches, Zukić brought freshness in the second half in the turnaround against Radnički 1923, while he played 90 minutes in the Cup.
– It means trust and more minutes, because I always like to be on the field and play, like every other member of the team. I didn’t play four, five games, that motivated me to work even harder and to be at the right level when I get the chance. I think I got into the match well and it means to me that I finally played 90 minutes. That will be an additional motive for me to continue working and impose myself on the coach, and it is up to the coaching staff to decide how many will play – Zukić concluded.
The match Proleter – Vojvodina is on the program on Monday at 6 PM.
