Sutjeska seems unstoppable again, after the defeat against Iskra more than a month ago, she regained her rhythm and now has many reasons to believe that this season will also be a championship one.
The derby against Budućnost awaits the people of Nikšić at the weekend, which will not decide anything, but could foreshadow some things, because after the clash with the biggest rival, there will be two more rounds left in 2019. Sutjeska currently has two more points, with the fact that the Blues have a game less (against Grblje in Radanovići).
- I think we are in good shape and that the duel against Buducnosti comes at the right moment. There is still a lot to play for, this derby is not decisive, but it would mean a lot to us if we won - said the winger of the two-time champion Damir Kojašević. In the last four games in the championship, Sutjeska won three times, and convincingly - they were better than Rudar (3:0), Komo (2:0) and finally Petrovac (4:0). There is also a draw with Podgorica in Lješkopolje when Nikola Rakojević's team avoided defeat in the finish (2:2).
- We scored the most goals in the league, only Zeta conceded less than us. And that says something about our quality, even though we could have played some games better. However, the championship is uncertain, there are no pre-recorded points - says Kojašević.
The match against Petrovce on Saturday was not easy either, although the result says otherwise.
- For the first 40 minutes, we struggled on the bad, slippery ground. Once we started everything was easier. We had 2:0 at halftime, then we scored two more and won convincingly. It's also important how we win, because it all affects self-confidence - says Kojašević. And the confidence of Sutjeska players in the last two and a half seasons is at a high level, because they have acquired the habit of winning. - I believe that we are the best team in Montenegro, but we have to prove it from round to round. This season we already beat Budućnost once, now we are the hosts and we will do everything to repeat the success from Podgorica - said Kojašević and added:
- Budućnost and Sutjeska are without a doubt the best teams. What could decide the derby? Maybe our experience in attack, because Budućnost has a lot of young players in the last line. Maybe also the fact that we are stronger in defense. There are a lot of details, the Future has an individual quality, so the forecasts are ungrateful. I believe that it will be a real derby and that we will win three points.
Kojašević scored twice in Petrovac on Saturday and is now the first on the list of scorers with eight goals. His teammate Marko Ćetković has the same effect (he scored one against Petrovac). - It is much more important that we win points than who scores goals. We gave a total of 37 of them, everyone contributes in the right way to the results being what they are - Kojašević concluded.
The half season I could only wish for
Damir Kojašević returned to Montenegrin football this summer and he did not make a mistake - he played in the Champions League and Europa League qualifiers with Sutjeska, and recently he wore the Montenegrin national team jersey again...
- I wanted to return home, to be in Montenegrin football again. And I didn't regret it. We had a few good matches in Europe this summer, you could feel the support of the fans and then it was clear that I made a great move - says Kojašević. The Eurogoal in Bratislava against Slovan will be remembered for a long time.
- Along with the goal I scored for the national team, that one is definitely worth the most. I can also say that it is the most beautiful that I have achieved in my career. He recently played again for the national team.
- I'm glad to be here again, I hope I can help the national team get out of the crisis it's in. We have a very young team, I believe that in the near future everything will be better - Kojašević pointed out.
