“Breznica deserves our utmost respect, it always has – both when we were chasing them in the standings and now when they are chasing us. We know each other well, I believe there can be no big surprises in terms of the game and the squad. We are first in the standings, a draw would keep us in the same place, securing the third match in the championship on home soil, but the girls I coach, myself as a coach, and in general a club like Budućnost always want to achieve victory", said the coach of Buducnost, Dusan Globarević before Saturday's clash.
The "Blue" ladies have strengthened their squad with returnees By Nikolina Caković i By Anđelo Tošković, and the head coach and his assistants spent the preparation period in the peace of Podgorica and Ohrid, with frequent "runs" to Bosnia and Herzegovina and Albania so that ŽFK could have the strongest possible preparation matches...
“At the beginning of the preparation period, we had some problems due to the FSCG camps for younger teams, because all our girls are mostly national team players, but over time we completed ourselves and did excellent preparations. The girls listened, worked hard, stuck together and I believe that we will have a successful spring. The goal of all of us is to win the title again and to play in the Champions League qualifiers again, because last summer was a great experience for all of us", Globarević is clear.
A look at the autumn and the table shows that the blue and white ladies have 22 points after eight rounds, two more than Breznica, and that the first derby played in Pljevlja ended in a draw – 1:1. Buducnost is playing for home field and “plus five” which would be crucial in the fight for the title, while Breznica also has high ambitions and wants to stay in that fight, as well as take first place…
“All our matches for the past few years have been uncertain and beautiful to watch, there were twists and turns, goals in the last minutes… After all, that is the best that Montenegro has in women's football, and our young team deserves the support of the fans. A derby is always a derby, there is no clear favorite, but we will do everything to win three more points and take a big step towards the title", said Duško Globarević.
