Miroslav Djukic on Vojvodina away:

-It`s hard to prepare team mentally and it`s important for players to regain confidence. I believe my team will play to the best of their abilities and I expect good performance from them. We want to get back to winning ways.

We conceded weak goals on Wednesday. Every defeat is painful but such hard defeats can help the team to move two steps forward. We can`t just play attacking football, everyone has to work for the team. Defensive is also very important and there`s no success without it.

We can`t win European tie if we concede five goals and we can`t win Vozdovac if we concede three. We have to bring back that defensive stability, it`s about team work. Tawamba, Djurdjevic, Soumah and others have to know I prefer attacking football but I need them all the work for the team.
