I congratulate my players, everything goes back to Arber for a good job”, emphasized Kovačević, who still sees room for improvement: “We should have created even more opportunities through dominance, I have been saying since the first day that we can do even better.”
Asked about the defender’s health Mikićthe coach explained: “He was run over by Rebić, he grabbed his head, he couldn’t continue. RPG is coming back, so with the two of them we are now stronger in that position.”
