TEAM NEWS
Marko Zivkovic (cruciate ligaments) suffered a long-term injury during pre-season. Ghayas Zahid trained with lower intensity this week.
Partizan boss Aleksandar Stanojevic on upcoming Napredak encounter:
-We are clear on our starters and subs coming in tomorrow. We also have a plan for tomorrow`s game depending on the development on the field. I know how I want us to play but I`m still not sure how it`s going to look like at the moment. We have a strategy though but we are a bit late regarding things we wanted to do. I hope we will play according to our ideas although we didn`t have enough time to sync everything
Everyone has their own motivation, so does Napredak. They have one serious coach and they play some serious football game. As for ourselves, we need no special kind of motivation for this match.
We watched Napredak friendlies from their Slovenia pre-season, watched them all on YouTube so we have a clear picture there. We scouted them and got ready for this match as much as possible, gathered all the info needed.
Someone would find it natural to think about upcoming CL qualifier but it`s not like that for me. Tomorrow`s game is my life now, I`m fully on it. We have coaches in our team who are thinking about Dynamo Kyiv, the rest of us are focused on Napredak solely..
