A Thrilling Month Ahead!

Well, june is finally here, all the club seasons all over Europe are over and we can all get ready for an interesting month ahead of us regarding the national sides. Serbian senior NT prepares itself for two crucial qualifers that are on the way: a home match against Austria on saturday, due to be played in front of some 53. 000 spectarors in the Red Star Stadium that will flock from all over the country, and an away game against The Faroe Islands on wednesday. Now, while Austria and The Faroese aren’t actually our direct opponents for the top spot in the group and while both of these games are already calculated as wins by majority of the fans, achieving these two victories would be a magnicificent step on our road to South Africa and would hopefully give us a strong position to fight The French when they visit Belgrade in september. The tickets for the Austria game have dissappeared very quickly from the market and it was a long time since there was such pomp regarding the NT. Serbian people are quite extraordinary football fans: easy to impress, easy to dissappoint. Now, while we ride high on the waves of our recent victories, you can really expect a pandemonium in the stands tommorow! Aside from the senior NT, our U21 team play the European U21 Championship in Sweden later this month, trying to build on the past successes this side has achieved in Europe (two finals and a semi-final in the last three European Championships) and win the title the nation has been craving for. Here’s Antić’s squad list for the two qualifers that are on the way:

Goalkeepers: Vladimir Stojković (Sporting CP), Vladimir Dišljenković (Metalurg Donetsk), Bojan Isailović (Gencibirligi)

Attackers: Nikola Žigić (Racing Santander), Marko Pantelić (Hertha Berlin), Dragan Mrđa (Vojvodina), Danko Lazović (PSV)

There’s going to be a preview for the tommorow’s game coming soon!
