Adam Marušić played for the Montenegrin national team in Gibraltar after eight months - he had been absent since March, missed three games and welcomed a new coach.
Mirko Vučinić succeeded Robert Prosinečki in October, and the Lazio defender points out that he brought new energy.
"I haven't been here since March due to injuries. When I came to this gathering, I saw a completely different energy, things are different with a new coach," said Marušić before tomorrow's match with Croatia.
The "Falcons" have started with rejuvenation - that's what the experienced ace likes.
"There are also a lot of new young guys compared to before, all of them can be starters. We have a lot of quality players who are standard in the clubs, and those who are not will certainly get a chance. That's why I'm thinking positively. We're doing well, the guys are listening to the coach's requests and we need to continue like that," Marušić emphasized.
DON'T MISS IT
Croatia is an inspiring rival from which Montenegro can learn a lot.
"Croats are characterized by togetherness, that's what makes them recognizable. In addition, they have 20 players who are standard players in excellent clubs. That's why they've been making fantastic results for years and are at the top of world football. As far as we're concerned, the mere mention of the Croatian national team awakens more motivation in every player. But it must always be present, whoever the rival is. That's the only way we can achieve results in the future and every player must believe," added Marušić.
