Buducnost is the leader, Buducnost has so far shown that it is the strongest in the MeridianBet First Football League, but this is the period of the season when Bokelj SBBet has the best results.
Three victories in a row, against Dečić AdmiralBet, Budućnosti and Sutjeska, launched the team Slobodan Drašković to the third place in the table, and the experienced coach notes that the results finally began to follow the excellent editions.
From mid-August to mid-September, the Kotor players had a streak of five games without a triumph (four defeats and a draw), and later they came into their own...
- We had two victories at the start of the season, and then that bad series, the characteristic of which was that we played very well. We were in a situation where the result did not follow us, we remained calm and knew that the moment would come when that would change. It was just necessary to believe in what we were doing - said Drašković.
The experienced expert does not hide that he is satisfied with the way Bokelj wins matches.
- We played well in all 14 rounds, I have to be satisfied with that. Sometimes the results were good, sometimes not, now they are, but we knew we were on the right track. Now we just need to continue like this - said Drašković.
Bokelj won 23 points.
- Maybe it turns out that we are immodest, but I think we deserved more points for what we showed - said Drašković.
One of the best games of the season was played by the team from the ancient city on the weekend in Nikšić - they outplayed Sutjeska near Bistrica and celebrated with 2:0 goals. Vasilija Čavor i Dejan Pepić.
- Against Sutjeska, we showed that our games and results are not accidental. It was in a way a confirmation of all the good things we have done so far. We were especially good in the second half, so in addition to the two goals, we could have scored a few more - said Drašković.
Bokelj is in position number three, but still has modest ambitions.
- At the beginning of the season, the goal was to ensure survival without a playoff, and that has not changed. The league is even, everyone can beat everyone and we have to do everything to keep winning points. Survival is the first goal, but we will be ready to use the chance for something more. European scene? If we continue like this, I think we have a chance, but it's a long season - says Drašković.
The team from Kotor is ahead of the current champion Dečić, Sutjeska...
- For me, Dečić is the disappointment of the season so far. Obviously, the European summer left its mark, as was the case with Mornar, but I expected more considering that he has a serious team, that he is the champion...
Buducnost has 29 points, two more than Petrovac and six more than Bokelje. The two first-placed teams have a game less, a duel awaits them...
- The future is objectively the best. It has the strongest team, the most serious organization and I expect it to be the champion, regardless of the fact that it has lost the last two games. The people of Podgorica have no competition, and the rest of us have something to fight for and the deciding nuances - concluded Drašković.
Bokelj has the opportunity to continue its winning streak on Saturday when it meets Arsenal from Tivat in Kotor.
