Partizan boss Srdjan Blagojevic ahead of Radnicki 1923 home:
-Three days ago we had a very strenuous game against OFK, playing with ten men for almost an hour, it was exhausting and you could feel that at today`s training session but we have some time to rest tomorrow and get ready for Sunday`s game.
Radnicki 1923 is club about stability and continuity – they proved it by trashing Crvena Zvezda midweek although they were on a bit of a barren run for few weeks. I think their midweek win is a result of their continuity, them sticking to the whole process and plan. Radnicki is physical and able to play high-intensity game, they also have specific defensive tactics. Even though Radnicki deployed different system against Crvena Zvezda, their game style remained the same. We have to get ready for different options they may throw at us.
We`ve drawn against them last time around and I watched details from that encounter; we can probably expect similar game on Sunday. They have to be encouraged by the midweek win and Radnicki is still in a mix to reach European competition next season. I`m sure they`ll be very motivated and try to get another big scalp.
We did light training session with one group of players today with no tactical bits involved, we`ll do more to get ready for this game later on. I`ve seen lots of good things, lots of opportunities in OFK game we played midweek but we had number of individual mistakes we need to reduce.
