Miroslav Djukic on cup final:

– We are all aware of cup final`s importance and we have a great ambition and desire to win this competition. Mladost troubled us a lot over two league games this season. This will be a hard job to complete but we will go after the trophy from the minute one.

We had a turbulent season but our European quest was great and now have the opportunity to win the cup. We are league runners-up and if we win this trophy, season behind us can be considered a success.

Team captain Miroslav Vulicevic:

– We`ll try to avoid the upset and Mladost have every right to battle and hope. After all, they reached the final. We have strength and motivation for the last 90 mins of the season. It would be nice to finish this season with a second cup trophy in a row.
