On his European debut in Pristina, Dečić was defeated by Drita 2:1, but that is not the only problem before the rematch in Gorica tonight until 20.45:XNUMX p.m., because Tuzani will be weakened by not playing captain Jonathan Drešaj, who was sent off at the end of the first qualifying match for the Conference League.
And everything started off great for Dečić at the "Fadilj Vokri" stadium, as Iljir Camaj hit the Drita net in the third minute. The goal was preceded by a cross by Damir Kojašević and the post by Kristijan Vuljaj, and Camaj was faster to knock the rebound into the net.
- We still did well in terms of results, as we were cut short by the equalizing goal. More precisely, the way we received it, from a counterattack after an obvious penalty for us, which was not played due to a foul on Ljuljđuraj. We lost ourselves there, and then the injury of Matija Božanović, who played until the end with a broken nose, and then the exclusion of Drešaj - Camaj said.
He is the scorer of the first, historic goal of Tusan in the European Cups.
- It is completely irrelevant who will score the goals, just to celebrate against Drita and delight our audience with the spectacle that comes from playing against Feyenoord, who is waiting in the second round. It is a rare opportunity for a Montenegrin club and would really be a gift to our audience. But we should skip Drita, who showed quality. Especially on the counter, where Muja and Ajzeraj shone. They are fast and quality and we have to be closer to them tonight and close their maneuver tactically. We have the players to provide quality answers to the positions of Drešaj and Božanović, because there are Anđelo Rudović, Jovan Nikolić... We also expect it to be cooler, because the temperatures are too high for the game - said Camaj.
Dečić's problems in the first match were caused by the departure of insufficiently prepared players who, due to representative obligations, later joined the team's preparations...
- I definitely won't be able to help my teammates in the second leg, because it would be very dangerous since my nose is broken. I stayed on the field until the end, but I couldn't give my best - said midfielder Božanović.
He is followed by a trip to Belgrade and a special protective mask for the continuation of the season.
– I got hit in the nose. More precisely, a rival player hit me and I renewed the injury from a month ago. It was really hard to play with tampons, and then the trip with the injury and examinations in the Emergency Center. I'm going to get a mask in two days, it would be too dangerous to play now - concluded Božanović.
