Imagine this – Stefan Leković, the young defender of Red Star Belgrade, has returned from a six-month loan at Italian club Monza and immediately found himself in a fierce battle for a spot in the starting eleven! Yes, you read that right. The 21-year-old, standing tall at 193 cm, is now competing with the experienced Miloš Veljković, Rodrigo, and the young Veljko Milosavljević for two center-back positions in the team. And that’s not all – while Leković sweats it out at the training camp in Austrian Windischgarsten, Red Star is preparing the transfer of Andrej Đurić to Swedish Malmo, which will bring the club around 1 million euros.
But what does a day in the life of this young defender look like? In an interview with Zvezda TV, Leković revealed his strict routine: he carefully chooses what he eats, regularly visits the physiotherapist, and never forgets to bring the necessary gear to training. Having gone through the entire Red Star youth academy, he debuted for the first team back in 2019 and spent the following season on loan at Grafičar. However, when Barak Bahar took over the first team, Leković was not in the plans and spent the season in Spain playing for Villarreal B.
Now, at 21 years old and 193 cm tall, Leković is ready to fight for his place under the spotlight. But the competition is brutal! Veljković is an experienced player, Rodrigo is a newcomer with great potential, and Milosavljević is a young talent who doesn’t give up. Who will come out on top? Will Leković manage to secure the center-back position and become a pillar of Red Star’s defense?
This battle for a spot in the team is not just a football story – it’s a story of ambition, persistence, and the dreams of a young player who wants to make his mark. We’ll be watching every step closely. Got an opinion on who deserves the starting spot? Or maybe some insider info on these players?
