Montenegrin pearl in Norway: Slavica Krstevska does not agree to be average

The captain of the Montenegrin women's youth national team, Slavica Krstevska, confirms day after day that her talent has serious value on the international stage.

Playing for Molde in Norway, this young footballer not only stands out with her speed, stamina and devastating left foot, but also with a mentality that separates the good from the great. Her journey from a girl who fell in love with football thanks to her brother to a leader on the pitch has been marked by hard work, discipline and a clear goal - to soon make a breakthrough in the senior Montenegrin national team.

Fast and durable on the flank, with a precise and devastating shot with her left foot... - they got a great perspective with Krstevska in the Norwegian first division.

"Playing abroad taught me that talent is never enough on its own. Discipline, continuity and daily work are what truly defines a player. Every training session is important, every detail makes a difference and nothing comes without sacrifice. That experience helped me progress not only as a footballer, but also as a person. I became more independent, more focused and more aware of what it takes to succeed at a higher level," our footballer sees the difference.

Krstevska was interested in football since he was a child.

"My brother introduced me to the game and I knew right away that it wouldn't just be my hobby. Going abroad taught me that you have to give your best at every training session, complete dedication. You can't settle for average! The professionalism is impressive. Everything in Molde is organized, focused and geared towards development. Such an environment pushes me to be better every day. With better conditions and investments here too, women's football would progress significantly because we have talent and passion for the game," believes Krstevska and adds:

"I follow the players' movements, the game. That's very important, that's why I closely follow Federico Dimarco, or the recordings of Alvaro Rekoba's games."

Although she is the captain of the U19 team, Krstevska has a clear goal!

"That means I'll soon be wearing the jersey of our senior team. Now we're entering the youth qualifiers with ambition and desire. As captain, I have an even greater obligation to help the team unite, to help the players believe in their own abilities. I need to help them with the experience I've gained abroad. I believe we have the quality to achieve a good result," concluded Krstevska.
