Is there any hope for Zeta, Đuretić: If we succeed, we will be third next season

The Zeta football spring starts with the strongest possible test - the leader Sutjeska, who in the first 13 rounds won as many as 19 points more than the first champion of Montenegro, is coming to Trešnjica tomorrow (31 p.m.).

In the "wolves" camp, however, they do not want to give up in advance, regardless of all the problems, supplemented by the departure of the best player and young national team member, forward Ivan Vukčević.

"His departure is difficult to make up for, because he is the best young striker in Montenegro and in Vojvodina they are delighted with his class. We tried to make up for that lack, we brought Aleksa Maraš from Dečić and Nikola Globarević from Grblj and we will try to adapt them, improve them their game, their performance in attack... For us, the arrival of the experienced and quality goalkeeper Pavle Velimirović is a favorable circumstance, because he gives security to the youngsters. If injuries bypass him and everything goes as it should, another football pearl will emerge from Zeta," said Zeta coach Dragoljub Đuretić for the former midfielder of Budućnost and Podgorica.

Zeta enters the second part of the season from the last place and minus seven points compared to the penultimate Jezero.

The people of Golubov did not have the conditions to go to expensive preparations, and the question is, is there any way out?

"Before the beginning of the season, we had only three players with first league experience, and now this group of promising young men has half a season behind them. If we keep the first league status, which we know will be difficult because we are seven points behind, next year we can also fight for third place." , says Đuretić.

There is still a long way to survival, and the first obstacle is the most difficult possible - the convincing leader, Sutjeska.

"There is no need to mince words about Sutjeska. Janjić and Jovović are the driving forces of that team, and it is only important that my players understand that they can stop them. If we manage not to lose, it will be a dose of self-confidence to continue the fight. And for Sutjeska, the match is important, because Dečić and Budućnost stepped up fiercely. Especially in attack, the race will be exciting," concluded Đuretić.
