Until the end of the match, Vojvodina controlled the game and saved the lead, so the preparations began with a triumph, and the coach Božidar Bandović was pleased after the game.
- I believe that we played a good game, we split the minutes, one team played the first 60 minutes, and the other 30 minutes. We have a difficult week behind us, there were some good things, but also some that we want to improve. I am pleased with all the players, the atmosphere is still excellent, even though we work hard. During the 6-week cycle of preparations, they will certainly experience some crises, but the goal is to be completely ready for the beginning of the next season, and that first match. In the afternoon we are playing another match against Noah FC, a more difficult opponent, but it will be easier to play the game because it won’t be so hot – Bandović said.
He then reflected on the new players in the team.
- Poletanović, as well as Drobnjak and Popović who returned from their loans, showed quality and character today, and also during the training sessions, as well as Sukačev whom I already know from before. They need some time to achieve good communication, we want to enhance their performance, and they will certainly be helpful in the future. We want to enhance our physical shape, and our game style – Bandović concluded.
