Partizan is in full swing preparing for the new season, and coach Srđan Blagojević is openly pleased with the energy and work ethic of his players. After a convincing 1-0 victory against Niš’s Radnički in their first friendly match, it’s clear the Black and Whites mean business. “Every training session has been done to the max, the guys show desire and quality,” Blagojević said, especially praising young Mateja Milovanović, who has shown he can be a valuable asset in the upcoming championship.
The captain in the match was Vanja Dragojević, proudly wearing the armband and stating it was a dream come true for any Partizan youth player. Alongside him, the experienced Bibars Natho will also serve as captain, a player with years of authority in the club. Blagojević revealed that the Dragojević-Natho duo will share captain duties in upcoming matches.
The only goal of the match was scored by young Bogdan Kostić, who described the feeling as phenomenal and promised to show even better play in the next games. Partizan will play their second friendly match on Thursday against Russia’s Rodina Moscow, where more new developments in the team will be visible.
Although the team is still at the start of preparations and new players are adapting, it’s clear the focus is on strengthening the squad, with high hopes for the promising young talents. Partizan plans to continue intensive work to be ready for the challenges of the new season and European competitions.
