After a short break, Budućnost footballers gathered under the leadership of new coach Nenad Lalatović and started their final preparations for the two-legged tie against Armenian Noah in the first qualifying round of the Champions League. Forward Ivan Bulatović says attack is the team’s strongest weapon and they are ready for anything this tough duel will throw at them.
“The situation in the team is phenomenal. We know a tough match against Armenia awaits us, but we believe in ourselves and hope to achieve a good result in the first game that will keep us in the fight for the return leg,” Bulatović told the club’s website.
The team has completed quality preparations with good work and control matches, and Bulatović is satisfied with his form, having scored three goals during the preparations, which gives him extra confidence ahead of the match with Noah.
Although Noah is the favorite, Bulatović says Budućnost has its own assets. “We’ve heard a lot about Noah, their attack might be their strongest weapon, but our strength lies in our collective spirit. I believe we have chances in the two-legged tie,” he said.
The team quickly adapted to the new coach’s demands, the atmosphere is excellent, and the focus is maximal. Bulatović promises to give his all to secure a better result in Yerevan, with the return leg to be played in Podgorica seven days later in front of their home fans.
This duel is very important for Budućnost, as qualifying for the Champions League brings not only prestige but also significant financial benefits. Everyone in the club is aware of the task’s difficulty but also the opportunities that open up in case of success. Budućnost is ready to fight for every inch of the pitch and prove they are a worthy rival even against a favorite like Noah.
