Mladost footballers from Podgorica kicked off their preparation period for the new season with a solid 2-0 win against Slovenian second division team Nafta. The returnees to the Meridianbet First League of Montenegro showed they mean business. Knežević scored the first goal in the 43rd minute, and Roganović sealed the victory in the 71st minute. This match is just the beginning of preparations, which will continue in Slovenia, where Mladost will play several more friendly matches. The goal is clear – to prepare as best as possible for the upcoming season and show readiness for the challenges ahead.
But is this win just a lucky coincidence or a sign that Mladost can truly return to their former glory? Returning to the first league brings high expectations, and with this start, fans can be optimistic. However, it should be noted that the opponent was a Slovenian second division team, which might not be the toughest test for Mladost.
Meanwhile, rival clubs like Zeta are also starting preparations but face different challenges and ambitions. Zeta, a former Montenegrin champion, now competes in the third tier but hopes to return to the top with a new coach and improved training conditions. While Mladost shows strength on the pitch, Zeta struggles with infrastructural and organizational problems.
This season promises plenty of excitement in Montenegrin football. Will Mladost confirm their good start and fight for the top of the table? Or will they face the challenges that come with moving up a division? One thing is certain – fans will have plenty to watch, and the football scene in Montenegro is ready for new dramas and twists.
