Zvezda continues with victories in the Europa League, after Braga they defeated Ludogorets in Razgrrad, without four standard first team players – Borjan, Dragović, Degenek and Kataija.
The goal of the decision tonight was scored by Gelor Kanga in the second half, and after the match the coach Dejan Stanković revealed what the midfielder from Gabon said before the match, but also why he replaced him shortly after the goal, which is why Kanga was a little dissatisfied at that moment.
” He gave a lot on the field, he played both tactically and personally just the way I wanted. I told him to annul everything that was in the previous period against Ludogorets and to score the winning goal. Congratulations to everyone, I can’t single anyone out, everyone played in their own way as I wanted. The reason why I took him out is that we got into trouble, the referee did not notice on several occasions that Kanga was fouled, he had a yellow card and if such a relationship exists on the field, then it is better to replace him. He played perfectly, the most important are three points ”, explains Stanković.
Of course, he praised the whole team for what he showed tonight.
” We prepared in a great way, we read the game well and we believed in victory. Fortunately, everything turned out the way we wanted. All the guys from first to last on the field and those who came into the game were focused on what we were doing. When that is the case, then you do not get into trouble, but you are rewarded and you deserve to score a phenomenal goal and bring the game to an end. We risked receiving a goal from our mistake, but that does not diminish the work of all the guys, the sacrifice and the relationship they had tonight. They were good.
This is the second big step for us, we are the first made in Belgrade against Braga, and we have four more difficult matches ahead of us. After the draw, I said that this is a group in which you can be both the first and the last, it is so uniform. Now we are thinking about resting, then we will have a match with Metalac, then a national team break, and Midtjylland, which lost to Braga 3: 1 tonight. Everything is open. This is a dream for us “, says Stanković.
He also praised the group of fans who cheered on Zvezda at the stadium.
” There were about twenty of them, but we felt like there were 50,000 of them. You just feel that energy, you hear them getting louder with support as the match draws to a close. They came from Serbia and Republika Srpska and I thank them for that “, concluded Stanković.
