– This game has once again shown why Cup is an interesting competition where surprises are always possible. We are a really better team, but we played very, very badly for 30 minutes. After that we found the energy, made a reversal and deservedly won. Borac knew what he wanted and if they had won, it would not be undeserved, but at the same time I think a better team is going further.

– Zvezda, of course. As we were a better team than Borac and they were close to a surprise, so I think we also have a chance. Everyone has a chance. I believe in this, this will not be an important game in half an hour, it’s played day by day, only victory is remembered. How you play one day is not a guarantee how you will play the other,

This shows the quality of Nikola and what kind of player he is growing up. It is not easy after all of those mistakes, offensive and defensive, to play that finish. I am very pleased how is he evolving,
