Marko Vešović and Marko Bakić "picked up" two cups the day before the friendly match with Georgia - they celebrated the number of 50 and 25 games respectively in the jersey of the Montenegrin football team.
It's time for the last match of the season, which the "brave falcons" want to do as well as possible - the rival is Georgia, a participant in the Euro and the team that against our selection has the only test before the appearance at the championship of the Old Continent.
"The long club season is behind us, the June term is inconvenient, but we have a lot of strength and motivation to finish the cycle. There is always a desire to prove oneself in the national team, and it is the same now," said Vešović, who celebrated the double crown with Azerbaijan's Karabagh.
Georgia, as a team that will play at the Euro, is a real challenge.
"As soon as it is a member of the Euro, it means that it has quality. I expect us to be real, to give everything," Vešović pointed out.
DON'T MISS IT
Vešović is waiting for a direct duel with the master from Napoli, Hviča Kvarachelia.
"He is top class and it will certainly not be easy. We will try to stop him", said Vešović.
The defeat against Belgium showed the two faces of Montenegro. The second half is promising.
"It was as if we were impressed in the first half. We didn't play well, but the second half was much better. The performance from the second 45 minutes should be our guide for the future," said Vešović.
He also referred to the anniversary - 50 matches for the national team.
"I am proud of that figure. I don't know which match I would single out, because they are all special in their own way. I hope there will be many more," said the 32-year-old footballer.
Marko Bakić believes that Montenegro will end this period of the year in the right way.
"We all saw how the game with Belgium looked, time will tell if it could have been better." As for Georgia, it is a national team that comes in full form, eager to show its quality before the European Championship. They have the quality that got them there. We will need the full engagement of everyone who will be actors in that match, and I am sure that everyone will give their best," said Bakić.
The exam is in the audience.
"I hope the fans understand that we are at a new beginning. Our key players such as Stefan Savić and Stevan Jovetić are entering that last cycle and we should also acknowledge them for still being there. I hope that people will recognize the moment and that they will help us to once again give our maximum and win the big competition", concluded Bakić.
