We're going to start from the players I brought in the squad. I really focused on bolstering our defence so majority of the players are defenders.

Sitting at the top of the table after a first few games is great. And even better
is that the biggest threat in the title race, Partizan, is struggling early on.
European Dream:
UEFA Champions League 2nd qualifications round:
1. Vardar - Crvena Zvezda 1-1
15' M. Pavkov 0-1
90+1 B. Bagasovski 1-1
Great performance denied by the late goal. Struggling to score again.

17' S. Plavsic 1-0
25' M. Donald 2-0
80' B. Bagasovski 2-1
Unfortunate not to keep the clean sheet but we're going to the next round
UEFA Champions League 3rd qualifications round:
1. Crvena Zvezda - Celtic 1-1
29' S. Sinclair 0-1
33' S. Srnic 1-1
Strong opponent and a solid result going into Scotland
2. Cetic - Crvena Zvezda 3-0

11' P. Henrique 1-0
31' U. Racic 1-1
48' E. Kace 2-1
A draw is a fair result but Kace scored absolute wondergoal from about 30 metres. We are going to Greece with a 1 goal deficit.
2. Crvena Zvezda - Paok 1-0
66' L. Adzic 1-0
A kid that has been promoted to senior squad 2 months earlier now brings us back to Europe after 10 years!!!
And a goal was an absolute beauty: First a great pass from Mihailo Ristic to Jadson, and then Jadson backheels the ball to Adzic who shoots with a lot of confidence and hits the bottom right corner of the goal. Wonderfull!!
