Odović and Musemić Expect Great Atmosphere and a Good Match

SARAJEVO, (Patria) - Željezničar will host Sarajevo in the 5th round of the BH Telecom Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and on that occasion a press conference was held where the coaches of Željezničar and Sarajevo, Milomir Odović and Husref Musemić, as well as first-team players Vedran Kjosevski and Nihad Mujakić, addressed the media.

- We will play in a good atmosphere, we are slowly raising our form. There are still many things to work on, but there are players who can accept that. The fact is that we are not as rested as Sarajevo, we have many matches and travels behind us, but we have won two matches and that is good for our morale. We have tired players, so we will see this afternoon who is where. I have a large number of players I can rely on, so considering the fact that some players are tired, we will try to rest some players against Sarajevo because a lot of running is needed there, and we also need to keep a cool head.

A demanding match awaits us, I am glad that there will be a good atmosphere and a lot of spectators. I hope there will be goals and that everything passes in fair conditions. Of course, the most important thing is the result that brings points or not. Good play is the result of a match. In relation to that, we can talk about a draw, but if you play well and the audience is satisfied, then you have to accept it. The best is to have all that and win.

Everyone is in contention for the match, although I tried to rest the players, but simply they are all professionals, so it is up to us, the coaching staff, to decide who will play. In my first interviews, I said that we have a roster where we can play such matches Wednesday-Sunday, even on two fronts – Odović pointed out.

Sarajevo coach Husref Musemić believes in a good performance from his players in the big derby.

- What new could be said about the derby? What is certain is that we will have quality conditions for the game, a night match, a new pitch, the atmosphere is truly sporting, so now the question is what we can offer to those watching the match. Šišić is not available, all others are.

Željezničar regained their confidence with two wins, we were also in the same situation, but we did not succeed because we drew against GOŠK. Still, the atmosphere is not that bad, the players are aware that this is a big match, and we will try to play as well as possible - Musemić said.

Captain and goalkeeper of the blue team, Vedran Kjosevski, expects a good match and a victory for his team.

- We had a turbulent start to the season, everyone knows what happened, but the last two matches show us that we can do better. A derby is a derby, the team with more desire always wins, I hope we will prove that we are the better team. I expect a good match, that there will be many of our fans and that we will celebrate in the end.

When you grow up in this city, you know what this match represents. I am glad that the fans have returned to the derbies, I hope that tomorrow we will also provide a quality match, there is no pressure, I hope we will show that we are worth it and that we are the two best teams in the league – said the goalkeeper of the blue team.

Young Sarajevo player Nihad Mujakić says that Željo is in better form, but that should not mean anything in such matches.

- Željezničar is in better form than us, but that does not have to mean anything. The atmosphere in the dressing room is good, the one with more desire wins, and I hope that will be us - Mujakić said.

Željezničar and Sarajevo have met 135 times so far, the blue team is more successful with 43 wins, the maroon team has three fewer triumphs, while 52 matches ended in a draw. The goal difference is in favor of Željezničar – 163:158.

The match starts at 20:15, with a live broadcast on Moja TV.
