Budućnost ended the weakest season during the last four years in third place in May, with nine points less than the champion Dečić Admiralbet, and then after nine rounds in the new one, they already made an almost identical difference at the top.
Meridianbet The first Montenegrin football league is just heating up, and our most trophy-winning club has eight points more than the current champion, but also the numbers and the game, which perhaps herald total dominance in the championship.
The chosen ones Ivan Brnović they showed the most - they scored the most goals (20), conceded the least (three), recorded seven wins, two draws and never left the field with their heads down. They are also the only undefeated team in the Montenegrin first league caravan.
Of the seven triumphs, two came against the two closest teams in the standings (Dečić and Petrovac), so that speaks volumes for the message Budućnost sent to the main rivals in the championship race at the start.
Defense and attack
Dejan Boljević (Petrovac), Nikola Janjic (Sutjeska) and Angelo Rudovic (Otrant-Olimpic) are the only players who managed to defeat the best Montenegrin goalkeeper during the previous nine rounds Milan Mijatović.
How much the "unit" of the national team and the defense in front of him are getting better and better is also shown by the fact that Mijatović's net was shaken for the last time at the end of August - since then Budućnost has strung together victories against Jezera, Jedinstvo and Dečić without conceding a goal.
A winning combination defensively, Brnović found in a practically standard four - Adnan Orahovac, Ilija Serikov, Dragan Grivić i Ognjen Gašević, with the fact that instead of the last left back, the youngster often got a chance Petar Vuković.
When it comes to attack, Buducnost has shown that it can shake the net in different ways, but everything revolves around this season of phenomenal Milan Vukotić, the guy who scored five goals and set up four. In addition to him, two others also stood out with hits Ivana - Bulatovic i Bojović with three each, and there are Andrija Pavlovic and guard Grivić with two each.
Width
What gives the leader in the standings a special strength is the width that Brnović has at his disposal, so practically the coach of the "blue and white" has ready alternatives in every position - except maybe at right back.
He's so young Lazar Savović used the opportunity in the middle of the field in the right way in addition to the excellent one Andrije Bulatović, Bojović made the captain Petar Grbić now he can dose minutes, just like another one of the "senators" Igor Ivanovic.
The most options are in the attack, where Ivan Bulatović, Pavlović, Oliver Sarkic, Lazar Mijović... And that everything works flawlessly - whoever is on the field - perhaps best shows that the absence of an injured representative Miloš Brnović didn't feel it at all.
Mladost
Budućnost celebrated on the field of champions on Friday (2:0), and the midfield of the Podgorica club was commanded by two young men who are together 33 years old - Andrija Bulatović (17) and Lazar Savović (16).
Apart from them, Vukotić, Mijović, Gašević, Bojović are still very young, as well as the 17-year-old Andrej Kostić and a year older Stefan Đukanović who are slowly getting their first minutes in the senior team. There is also the talented Bodin Tomasevic, who played first league football last season, and who is an excellent alternative in the stopper positions.
