The coach of Vojvodina FC, Nenad Lalatović, was not pleased after the draw of his team against the team from Lučani.
Players of the Old Lady didn’t manage to break the resistance of Mladost, even though the home team had 18 shots, 9 into the frame of the goal.
- I congratulate my colleague Trajković and the team of Mladost on the point won. The character that they have, is the character that our so-called stars should have, given how much they are paid. In such an organized club as this, they are not giving anything that is expected of them, and the fans are absolutely right. Simply, some players are playing without desire and will, like they are owed 5 salaries and I simply cannot believe that they are playing without character. I told the sports director that the team is made with character, and that I am not interested in stars, because they will not play come December. Only beasts can play in my team, hungry for success, who feel Vojvodina and who are ready to die for the crest of Vojvodina. These so-called stars are more in love with themselves than with their wives and girlfriends, and I can say that freely, I will not spare them. Previous coaches might have spared them, but I won’t. They have to receive criticism, to respect the fans, respect the club, respect the money they earn, because they don’t know what it used to be like in Vojvodina before, but I do. Vojvodina has never been more organized, and the salaries have never been higher – Lalatović said.
He then continued to criticize his players, and announced a different treatment in the continuation of the season.
- We were better today, that is true, Mladost returned behind the ball and let us play, and we had two broken heads today, why didn’t we break their heads? Because we enter the duels softly, and the fans showed that they were right. My players have to wake up from their dream, forget their name and last name and what kind of players they used to be. They have to play much better, to fight, today we missed the impossible. Depu missed, I still cannot believe that, maths and physics wouldn’t be able to count that such a chance is possible to miss, from less than half a meter. Once again, I will say, there are some players who somehow ended here, and who will definitely leave the club. We need fresh blood, if we have the money of course. My suggestion to the president and the management will be that the players who have high salaries give up 50% of their earnings and donate it to the families of the people who died at the Railway station. I think that this is a great suggestion. As long as I am the coach here, order must be respected, and the players have to give their all on the pitch like they did during my first two mandates here, the same will happen in the third. We have to be in the top 4 teams at the end of the season, and we have to play the Cup finale. That is my big wish and that is how it will be. This kind of playing is leading nowhere. They are playing football for themselves, enjoying how pretty and handsome they are. They should fall in love with their wives and girlfriends, and die for the crest of Vojvodina – Lalatović said.
