Four months after he was promoted to the seventh coach of the national football team of Montenegro, the moment came for Robert Prosinečki's second debut - the first game in front of the home fans.
The "Brave Falcons" have a friendly match with Georgia (Sunday at 20.45:XNUMX p.m. under Gorica), and the legendary Croatian wants his team to - enjoy themselves on the field.
"Against Georgia we should have fun. This team was quite inferior on the field, and I think it shouldn't be like that," said Prosinečki.
Finally, Robi will present himself to the Podgorica audience in the right way.
"I'm glad we're playing in Podgorica. The rival is very good and I hope the fans will come to support us. We will do our best to play a good game, and I am personally excited about the first game at home," said Prosinečki.
In Antalya in March, Montenegro beat Belarus and North Macedonia, on Thursday in Brussels they were defeated by Belgium in a match in which they showed two faces.
"We slept through the first half in Brussels, but it should also be said that the Belgians were very good. We have to be satisfied with the second half because we played well against the third national team in the FIFA ranking. In one period we dominated, created several chances. We showed that we can and want to play, that the players have confidence... It will not always be possible to have possession and dominance, we are aware of that, we will have to adapt to the rival and defend many times. But I repeat that this team has quality", Prosinečki added.
The dilemma is in what composition will Montenegro oppose the Euro participant.
"Stevan Jovetić has injury problems, Marko Janković and Igor Vujacić are also questionable. We will wait for training to see who will be ready", said Prosinečki, who is missing Stefan Savić, Adam Marušić, Matija Šarkić, Miloš Brnović, Risto Radunović, Marko Tući...
"There will be changes compared to Belgium, but in general we will not change anything in terms of the plan of how we want to play."
Montenegro is preparing for the League of Nations, which starts in September.
"Now the result is important, not the most important. It will be in September, when Iceland, who beat England yesterday, is waiting for us in the first match. That team has quality and stands well on the field, the English had one shot on goal," Prosinečki pointed out.
Georgia is a team that deserves respect.
"She is very well organized. I watched her last four matches, especially against Greece in the Euro play-off final. She went through on penalties, but against a team that is perhaps better than her. The coach Vili Sanjol has made an excellent group, you can see that he has a good atmosphere - they know what they want and it will be a very difficult game. Georgia is not what it used to be, along with Kvaracheli from Napoli, there are other great players. I'm sure it will be a great match," concluded Prosinečki.
