As of this weekend, Filip Malbašić is officially in the “100” club in the football club Vojvodina.
Before the match with Partizan, Voša’s attacker received a framed jersey with his last name and number 100, and afterwards he pointed out that he was proud of his jubilee.
– It is no small thing to be in the “100” club in a club like this. Vojvodina is one of our biggest clubs and playing 100 games in this jersey is my pride. I am also happy about the number, especially since I reached that number in a short period of time. I am proud to be in a club like Vojvodina and I hope to continue writing history in this jersey – began Malbašić.
He registered his jubilee in the derby with Partizan, which was one of the better ones in recent times.
– The match was without any result significance, because neither we nor they could change the situation in the table. We played without pressure and the football was immediately of better quality. In our football, there is an abnormal pressure of results, especially this year, because we know what the positions brought for placement in Europe and this was felt in all the teams. The offload affected us to play an excellent match and I think that a draw is the most realistic outcome. We had two chances at the end, before they did, but I think we showed ourselves in a good light. We wanted to say goodbye to our fans with a victory, although we didn’t succeed, we left a good impression – said Malbašić.
He admits that the team is not satisfied with the final ranking of this season and that not all goals have been met.
– In general, we are not satisfied, I think that all of us in the team and in the club, even though progress was made compared to last season, expected more. In a way, we did not meet the expectations and goals that we had set. However, now it remains for the team to jump over the summer, to try to reach the group stage of the Conference League through the qualifications. Vojvodina has started to go in the right direction and the results will not be lacking, but it cannot do anything overnight. It is important that the club is run by serious people and that we continue to build everything we have started. In terms of quality, we could have done more, and I believe that we could have been in the top three teams in terms of playing staff. We lacked something as soon as some other teams were ahead. It is positive that we won Europe, but we did not meet all expectations – emphasized Malbašić.
The Voša forward was self-critical and about his personal performance this season and believes that he will show much more next year.
– I’m not satisfied, honestly. I came from a period of not playing for as long as a year and after that some consequences had to be felt. The first part of the season was full of unfortunate circumstances, knee injuries, I am more satisfied with the second part, but again not completely. I know that I can do better and I am aware of that and I hope that the next year will be much better – concluded Malbašić.
