Partizan boss Igor Duljaj ahead of Kragujevac away:
“We are playing against the team who won three out of the last five league games. They even played a really good game against Crvena Zvezda. I hope hosts will manage to fix their pitch surface a little bit as in this state now it suits the home team more. On the other hand, we have an aim to continue our winning streak although everything has a beginning and an end. We`ll try do everything needed on our behalf. Radnicki players and their new coach Fedja Dudic are doing a great job, they want to play football, not to park the bus.
They are organizes side, waiting for the opponent to lose the possession so they can go on a counter-attack. We scanned them but they also look for our weak spots. Kick-off is at the odd hour, 2pm, people are at work midweek but I hope there`ll be fans on the stands in best possible numbers.
Our defending is pleasing me and you`ll always here from the coaches how the defense starts from the attackers. Well, you`ve seen in Subotica how Saldanha looked to steal possession aggressively on 85 and with Partizan 3-0 up. There`s lot of things you need you go through from the beginning of your attack up to the opposition net and I`m glad our defenders started scoring goals. Also, many had doubts about Nikolic considering his character but it`s a fact now everyone says he`s football maestro. Nikolic is an honest player, someone who renounced his bonuses only to play for Partizan and that shows how much he wants to play for this club and he is contributing a lot. His influence is great, either when he starts or comes in from the bench.
Igor Duljaj on Menig incident in Subotica:
-It wasn`t a normal situation and I apologize to the club. Our shirt is kind of a holy object. When players go to the dressing room after the warm-up and throw their shirts on the floor, I pick them up as there`s Partizan emblem on those shirts, that`s how I`m educated to be. Such things happen in many clubs but this is old news already and this situation is behind us now. Menig is a good lad and there` s no trouble within our ranks. You`ve seen how players celebrate every goal we score, even those on the bench, those are the emotions you cannot buy, said Igor Duljaj.
