The biggest competition in the region in 3v3 mode in e-Football - EPC league will start tonight, and already in the first round from 20.30 with the transmission on the Arena sport channel, the only representatives of Montenegro - ESD Budućnost will compete against the HNK Dragovoljac team on the virtual field. Buducnost won third place in the first season, and they were considered favorites from the start. Captain Bojan Tatar talks about the new season and expectations for Vijesti.
Bojan, the new season of EPC League 3 on 3 in e-Football is starting. Do you remain in the same lineup and how much have the lineups of the other teams changed since the first season?
We have changed the composition. Drago Gaga Mandić will not participate this season due to personal commitments, Marko Unkašević moved to the Voždovac team, and Turkish and Austrian internationals joined us. As for the other teams, many have brought some Pro players, but we'll see how that affects the results.
At the beginning of the first season, you were the only team without a loss for a while, you were at the top of the table for a long time, and then one draw and one loss changed everything. Have you analyzed where you went wrong and how much you will change the gameplay in the second season?
True, we did have a little dip in the game at one point, but it certainly didn't shake us. Again, we ended up in third place, which is not bad, but we are definitely a team that always goes for the trophy. Last season, we played that final before the final against the Partizan team in the semi-finals, where they beat us and then easily won. We lacked that luck factor in the semi-finals where we could have made a breakthrough, but we turned over a new leaf and are moving on.
With what goal are you entering this season and what are your expectations? Considering the third place in the first season, can you climb even one step higher?
The goal, as I said before, is the same - the trophy. Given that we have brought two serious players, one of whom is a professional who played for Inter Milan, the expectations this season are of course a step higher.
ESD Buducnost consists of a proven team that has not changed for years. Are there any new, younger players that you could bolster the ranks with, if not give them a chance to try this mode?
As far as our roster for this season is concerned, we are here from the old players Boris Bajović, Ivan Raznatović, Marko Vuletic, Semih Oztruk and I. The most talented young player in Europe has joined us Arda Yildiz who performed officially for Inter Milan last season and of course we expect good results with him in the team.
