"Rijeka's trump card for big matches", "Marko Vešović is the detonator of Rijeka's game going forward", "Rijeka before the title, Vešović the shooter"...
Compliments to the Montenegrin national team player alternate as if on tape in the surrounding media, after another brilliant performance by his team in the victory away to Slaven (2:0), which brought Rijeka closer to the historic title and ending Dinamo's dominance.
And Vešović was the assistant for the first goal of Franko Andrijašević in the 14th minute, and with a goal at the end of the half, he removed the dilemmas about the winner, on a field where Rijeka had not known a victory for three years.
In three days, in front of their audience in the penultimate round against Cibalia, Rijeka has a match point for the title, because they have five points more than Dinamo, which they are visiting in the last round of the 1st HNL.
"We are focused only on the next match, and we are not thinking at all about the derby in Maksimir. We are playing the best in Croatia, and we hope to continue in such a rhythm. We hope to celebrate the title in the next round in front of our audience, but that is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to win the first title. It is a central topic in Rijeka and the whole city, on the street in cafes, everywhere is just talking about it," emphasized Vešović.
After celebrating the title, a wedding awaits him in Budva on June 3, but our international player has more wishes.
"My goal is to play at the World Cup in Russia. I am aware that we have the quality to play with everyone in the group, even though after a great start we played two bad games in Armenia and Podgorica with Poland," emphasized Vešović.
