From the special reporter "Vijesti"
Bubućnost will once again chase a minus one in front of their fans, the "blue and whites" will need another real evening under Gorica in order to continue their European dreams...
Just like against Mališeva, the most trophy-winning Montenegrin club was defeated 1:0 in the first match - now in the 2nd round of qualification for the Conference League by CSKA 1948 in Sofia.
"We have an active result, that's what we wanted. However, we lost and that's not good even though the match was equal," said Ivan Brnović, coach of Budućnost.
Buducnost played a weak first half, in the second it showed that it can play against its rivals from Sofia.
"CSKA had more of the game and possession in the first half, we were far from the goal, and we conceded a goal in transition where we knew they were the most dangerous and that hurt us. We came back in the sequel with a serious and offensive game, we showed character , were closer to the goal, although the opponent had a 100% chance when Mijatović made a great intervention. All in all, we can wait for the rematch with optimism and I think the chances are realistic," added Brnović.
He says that the "blue and white" missed the chance to return from Sofia undefeated.
"In the first half, we acted well tactically, and in the second half we came out with a more open guard, we guarded the ball and there were situations where we could react better and be more composed in the end. But the boys showed character, they saw that they could equally deal with CSKA 1948, the atmosphere in Podgorica will certainly be fiery and we have six days to prepare".
In the second leg, his players will have to attack, and CSKA 1948 showed how dangerous it is on the counterattack.
"We will have to attack, but in a controlled manner, to prevent their transition after losing the ball. We naively conceded a goal, but after everything I've seen, I'm satisfied with the game, not the result. We can correct ourselves in Podgorica," concluded Brnović.
