Budućnost footballers suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Yerevan, but coach Nenad Lalatović is not losing hope. Although his team was an equal opponent, one defensive mistake gave Yerevan the victory. Lalatović emphasized that the result still offers a chance for a rematch in front of their home fans, where he expects a hellish atmosphere, and called on everyone to fill the stands and show how much they love Podgorica and Montenegro.
“Honestly, we had only seven training sessions with the team and have already changed the system of play, and the players quickly accepted it and gave their all for 90 minutes. Two of our defenders received yellow cards, which reduced our aggressiveness, but despite that, we were close to taking the lead. The result gives us hope, and if we advance, it will be a sensation considering the budget NOA has and how much they pay their players. Imagine if we had such a budget, we would play in the Champions League every year!” said Lalatović.
He especially appealed to the fans to come in as large numbers as possible to the rematch and fill the stadium to the last seat, as this will be a key factor in the fight to advance. Budućnost showed quality and fighting spirit, but support from the stands is needed to achieve great success. The rematch is an opportunity to show true strength and love for the club and city.
In short, although the away defeat is painful, hope is alive, and Lalatović and his players are ready to fight until the end. Fans, get ready for a hellish atmosphere and show how much you love Podgorica and Montenegro! If you have your own comment or think this is too much drama, feel free to join the conversation – football is a game for all of us after all!
