Partizan is ready for a fiery showdown in Cyprus! Coach Srđan Blagojević made it clear that his team won’t be playing defensively against the experienced AEK Larnaca. Nope, they’re coming to impose their style and go for the win. “We won’t be defensive, we want to impose our idea of the game,” Blagojević declared ahead of the first leg of the Europa League first qualifying round, kicking off Thursday at 6:30 PM.
The Partizan squad flew to Cyprus with 24 players, mixing young talents like Marko Milošević and Vukašin Jovanović with seasoned pros such as Bibars Natho and Demba Sek. Blagojević highlighted that AEK is a team with solid continuity and experience at the top of Cypriot football, while Partizan is still shaping a new squad. But the black-and-whites’ edge? Pure enthusiasm and a burning desire to prove themselves.
Blagojević is pleased with the team’s preparation and energy during the training period. “We worked with great commitment and a strong will to reach a higher level,” he said. The return leg is set for July 17 in Belgrade, and this upcoming match will also be the first time Partizan players wear their new kits.
Get ready for a football drama where youth and passion clash with experience and stability. Will Partizan shock the world and impose their game, or will AEK confirm their dominance?
