Musemić Immediately Introduces Changes: Priority to Young Players, They Justified the Trust

Husref Musemić had a great debut on the Sarajevo bench. Yesterday at Koševo, the "Bordo" boys celebrated with a score of 4:0 in the match against Vitez, and what can make Sarajevo fans happy is that Musemić gave a chance to play to a large number of young players.

The professional staff, led by the legend of the Bordo club, Husref Musemić, included as many as nine players under the age of 21 in the squad for yesterday's match. Captain Marko Mihojević (1996), midfielder Elvedin Herić (1997), and winger Sanjin Lelić (1997) found their place in the starting lineup. In the second half, Advan Kadušić (1997), Mićo Kuzmanović (1996), and Nedim Hadžić (1999) entered the field, while Samir Radovac (1996), Nemanja Anđušić (1996), and Nihad Mujakić (1998) remained on the bench this time.

"The statistical data best speaks to how the young players of our team played yesterday. Elvedin Herić recorded an assist when he brilliantly set up Velkoski at the beginning of the second half, and towards the end of the match, Kuzmanović set up Hadžić, who scored his second goal of the season. Mihojević and Kadušić recorded excellent defensive performances, and Sanjin Lelić also played a notable role in yesterday's victory, scoring a goal in the match, but it was disallowed due to what turned out to be a non-existent foul after reviewing the TV footage. Football Club Sarajevo is among the youngest teams in the BH Telecom Premier League of BiH 2017/18, and it is certainly good that our young footballers are increasingly imposing themselves on the professional staff as individuals whom our coaches can seriously count on.

New talents from Koševo are already waiting for their chance to be part of the first team in the future, given that Sarajevo has the most U-19 national team players (as many as 6 – Resić, Veladžić, Sadiku, Hadžić, Šabanović, and Rondić), and our cadets and pioneers are the first-placed teams in their age categories after eight league matches played," boasted FK Sarajevo.
