Vojvodina coach Slavoljub Đorđević thinks that it was difficult to play against Radnicki’s defensive game tonight.

The Old Lady tonight drew with Radnički 1-1, and Đorđević believes that the outcome could have been different.

– I am not satisfied with today’s match. My players open the match for who knows how many times with too much desire, and then we got a goal from one shot, it wasn’t even a chance. We tried everything to come back, but it didn’t work. The rival’s bunker was justified, they went down low and waited to attack from the counter. Great nervousness entered the players, after only 45 minutes. Some non-football things appeared, the opposing players were rolling on the field, holding the time. Congratulations to the football players of Radnički on the point won, we are moving on – said Đorđević.

He then explained why he made only one change, since Kabić replaced Bastajić, and the plan was for Zukić to play in the finish of the match.

– We had more players, and in the attack we could have inserted Mrkaić or Kabić. Considering that they went down to the low block and expected a game on crosses and that their high central backs took off all the balls, we wanted to try to play on the ground with Kaba and thus break through and attack the first tripod. Čović and Simić are always dangerous players, it is only a matter of time before they score a goal. Čović is our best jumper, he had two balls on his head – Đorđević emphasized.

In the end, he commented on why he gave up the introduction of Dejan Zukić, and also referred to his status in the team.

– The problem of all our national team members, especially those who play for the young national team, is that they do not play enough there and completely fall out of rhythm. Only Bjeković played for 45 minutes. Zukić went to the gathering last time and was ill, and when they need to work the most, they “rest” in the national team and cannot catch the rhythm. When we play Wednesday-Saturday, then there is not much space, only the team is set up and ready for the next game. Today, I was thinking of introducing Zukić instead of Bjeković, to try with his penetrations and crosses, but Duronjić came in on the other side and we didn’t want to concede a goal from a counter, so the team remained the same until the end – concluded Slavoljub Đorđević.
