Partizan won Spartak 3-0 away and centre-back Svetozar Markovic scored the opener some 20 minutes from time. We spoke to 23-year-old team captain after the game.
“It was a tough game but that`s how it is with every match we play in our league. Spartak is a really good team and they proved it in the first half. Most importantly, we won and picked up three points”, said Markovic.
There` s no panic in this Partizan team when opener is hard to get. Your centre-back colleague Ilic had his goal disallowed as well. Do you have influence on your young partner in defence?
“What matter is that we believe in ourselves. There`s no panicking and we wait for our opportunity to threaten the opposition. I hope Ilic will score his first Partizan goal soon. As for the influence, I do my best to help him in every sense but he helps me a lot too”.
This is your first goal of the season.
“Yes, I had several opportunities this season but I missed them. Now I managed to score and I`m thrilled about it obviously”.
Partizan is away to Radnicki Kragujevac on Wednesday, for a previously postponed fixture.
“From tomorrow on, we have to turn to next game and get ready for it as best as possible as no game is easy in this league”, said Markovic.
