After a draw of his team against the Red Star, Vojvodina’s Manager Radovan Krivokapić said that he is not satisfied with the approach of players who had the chance to play and noted that players had to understand that friendly matches are organized only because of them.

Vojvodina today played a draw 1-1 (1-1) against the Red Star from Novi Sad, in a friendly match played in Veternik.

– This was a control game for players with less time on the pitch and the only question is whether they want to play or not. If they do not or will play with the approach it was today, then such matches will no longer be. They have to understand that these games are organized for them, not for us from the coaching staff, so they can have 90 minutes in the legs and be ready when they get a chance among the starting 11 in the championship. When they realize that, their approach to these games will probably be different – Krivokapić says.

Already on Friday, Vojvodina at “Karađorđe” expects the match against Radnički, which will be the premiere game of red and whites at their stadium this year.

– Radnički is the favorite and by position on the table is advantageous in relation to us. They have an ambitious president, high goals and a good coach, and I hope that, since everyone is saying that this is a derby of the round, on the pitch will also be one of the best referees in the world Milorad Mažić – emphasizes Krivokapić.

Radnički’s current Manager is a former Manager of Vojvodina, Nenad Lalatović, who works with great success in the club from Niš.

– I know him and his temper very well, and all the teams that he trained played the way he played. For this reason, I expect a fighting and solid match, with lots of tackling, and that’s why I would like to Mažić to be a referee – says Krivokapić.

He announces certain changes in the starting 11 in relation to the team that came out against the Red Star in Belgrade.

– I told the players that we need fighters for this match. Unfortunately, our pitch at “Karađorđe” is in such a state that it does not meet the conditions for dying in beauty, which is clear to the players. For this reason, only those who, as I said before the match against the Red Star, will leave the pitch with bloody knees – Krivokapić said.

The match between Vojvodina and Radnički will be played on Friday at “Karađorđe”, starting at 6 PM.
