Dragan Stojkovic has just taken over the Serbian national team. The Balkan myth comes to office after his Japanese tour and has several issues on the table on his first list. Jovic will be in it, the player owned by Real Madrid has not started as well as he would have liked in his return to Eintracht, but Stojkovic will respect his stripes in the national team from the beginning, although he has sent him a warning. The new coach cannot be oblivious to the enormous moment in which the young Vlahovic is living at Fiorentina, who has just scored a treble in his last game and has already scored 12 goals this season in Serie A and his name is already associated with Roma or Juventus for the future. Vlahovic is getting out of hand.
He is not the only one performing well in the Serbian vanguard. In addition, the giant Despotovic is also securing goals for Rubin Kazan. The 1.90 and 29-year-old striker has 10 in the Russian league and rising. Vlahovic and Despotovic threaten the situation of both Jovic and Mitrovic. The latter is also not being Scott Parker's first choice at Fulham and has only scored three goals this season. Stojkovic has to choose and, first of all, he will be somewhat conservative, but he has already issued a warning.
The new coach has stopped during an extensive interview at Sport Blic on all matters concerning his new assignment as coach, especially the offensive picks. All eyes are on qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, after the disappointment of not being at the next European Championship cost his predecessor Ljubisa Tumbakovic his job. “Jovic and Mitrovic currently have few minutes in their clubs, but that does not change at all my opinion about them. They will be on the list, but then we will see what happens at the end,” Stojkovic first wielded before underlining the moment of Despotovic and Vlahovic's unbridled hatching.
“Choosing is going to be a torment,” celebrates the coach as “Vlahovic has just scored three goals in 45 minutes, he is increasing his self-confidence and a lot is being written about him. It is especially important for me that he shows this terrible maturity . He is only 21 years old and he behaves as if he were 30, which is very positive, it opens the way for him to have a phenomenal career, of which I am convinced and which will be very important in the game of our national team, “he says before returning. to refer to without naming Jovic and Mitrovic. “The other players also scored goals, but in the end it is not as important as having continuity in their games, being starters in their clubs every weekend,” he warns.
Stojkovic has signed on to take over the current four-year cycle and has the difficult task of revitalizing a talented football that is struggling to compete. The 2022 World Cup and the 2024 Euro Cup are his goals, so Jovic and company know what to expect. Serbia will meet Ireland, Portugal and Azerbaijan this month as the first steps towards the World Cup.
