The coach of Vojvodina FC, Nenad Lalatović is pleased after an excellent match and a new win of his team.
Players of the Old Lady qualified into the quarterfinals of the Serbian Cup, having defeated the team of Grafičar with the result 3:1.
- I congratulate both teams on the shown game, but what I would first like to say is that I wish our stadium manager, Jelena Kulpinski a quick recovery, we already miss her, and we cannot wait for her to come back. With her, everything here is prettier and easier, and in the name of the players and the club we want Jelena to return soon. As for the match, I can be pleased, we played like we did against Novi Pazar, we gave seven goals, and received only one. I cannot be pleased with the fact that we created many chances again, and still questioned the game when the result was 2:1, we missed some chances that are harder to miss than to score. Luckily, Grafičar didn’t punish us, and I think we deserved to pass. All in all, I think we played an excellent match, we scored three goals and we could have scored three more. We turn to the next match against Čukarički, and we cannot allow ourselves to be defeated here like we were by Novi Pazar, and TSC, and Čukarički, which is what brought me here. We succeeded in revenging ourselves in Pazar, now is the time to win against Čukarički. I am sorry that today we didn’t solve the match earlier on, and that I could have made some other changes. Now, we have to wait and see what will happen with the injuries of Bamidele and Barros. We are expecting a difficult game against Čukarički, who rested today, they changed the coach, and it won’t be easy for us. We will definitely recover, and give our all to defeat them – Lalatović said.
He then complimented Lazar Ranđelović on playing better and better, and today he got the chance to be in the starting 11.
- Lazar played in my team in Niš, when we were second on the scoreboard, and later he went to Olympiacos, scored goals in the Champions League. He has that period of not playing behind him, he is on the right track. He is constantly looking for that depth. He missed that 1 goal, today he had two ‘’dead’’ chances, but it will come, because he is working phenomenally, and I am certain that Vojvodina will gain a great player in the future – Lalatović underlined.
In the end, he complimented Yusuf Bamidele, who continued his goal getting series.
- Dele is a wing player, and he gave six goals at two matches, he is an excellent player, but this is not his natural position. When he arrived in Niš, he came as a wing player, and now as an attacker he gave six goals at two matches, and I congratulate him on that – Lalatović concluded.
In the next match, Voša is welcoming Čukarički, and that match is scheduled for Sunday, at 3 pm at Karađorđe stadium.
