Sokoli for a better impression at a new beginning, Perović: The coach demands a lot from us, we want to progress

Montenegrin footballers are at a new beginning, and that is always an opportunity to erase previous gloomy qualifications, to announce some better days in the right way...

The first challenges will be two friendly matches near Gorica - against Andorra on March 27th and Slovenia four days later.

"We arrived in the best mood, we are working well, and soon we will all be together," said Marko Perović, a fullback/winger for our national team.

The goal of the March actions is clear.

"The desire and goal is to improve the impression compared to the previous period. In addition, we will try to build on the good things we have done so far, while at the same time correcting the bad things and mistakes. We want to progress together as a team and as individuals," emphasized the second team player of the great Atletico Madrid.

We weren't the best, but there were some good things.

Previous qualifiers, in which Montenegro finished just ahead of Gibraltar in the group, but also suffered debacles such as a 4-0 defeat to the Faroe Islands, remain an unavoidable topic. There were also good things, such as the performance against the mighty Croatia in Podgorica, despite the 3-2 defeat.

"We weren't the best in the qualifiers, but there were some good things that we need to maintain. Coach Mirko Vučinić demands a lot from us and we are trying to fulfill all of that."

Andorra seems to be the ideal rival for a new start.

"We expect to give our best, to respect the coach's demands, and ultimately to celebrate, so that we can then prepare for Slovenia," adds Perović.

"Falcons" are certainly big favorites against one of the worst selections in the world.

"We are a small country and we cannot underestimate anyone. We always have to give our maximum, to fight, to do our best. With good work, we have to progress from game to game, from training to training. There is no lack of motivation."

Second team Athletics: A chance to play

Perović arrived on loan from second division club Almeria to Atletico's second team, which plays in Spain's third division, at the end of January.

"I'm satisfied. It's the third league, but it's a big club, and for me it's a chance to play, because I didn't have too many minutes during the last year," concluded Perović.
