– Our bitter rival worked a lot to earn top spot. It`s on us to shake the things the top a bit. This will be a meeting of two great sides who did great job by qualifying for EL last 32 stage. It will be celebration of football game and I hope for a fair-play match. Let the better side win it. We have to try and win it to close the gap at the top.

It`s important to leave for a winter break with a positive impressions. Let`s play the way we should and let`s win it. So far, Partizan season is really good. We are second-placed in the league and part of EL last 32 stage. We are not fully pleased but there are hints that this team can grow further. This is a process and it takes time.
