Bode has shown that they are a solid team, accustomed to playing matches on artificial turf. It is not easy to play on such terrain, as a former player I can confirm. There is a big difference when a team is used to artificial turf and teams that are adapted to natural grass. Their speed, ball control and faster pace were evident, former Red Star player Zoran Jovičić believes.
In the first match, the Norwegians won 2-1, and the rematch is on Wednesday at 9 pm at Marakana.
„They are simply adapted to those conditions. The goal we scored kept us in the game. I believe Red Star has the „weapons“ to overturn the result. Throughout history, we have managed to make up for even bigger deficits at a full Marakana, but we have to play very well. Vladan Milijević and the players know that, and I am honestly optimistic ahead of the duel,“ said former Red Star goal scorer, a key player in the comebacks against Kaiserslautern and Helsinki, as well as a scorer in the famous match against Barcelona at Marakana (1:1).
