2010 World Cup: Serbia Youth Players Blend Well With Experience
2010 World Cup fever rolls on with many pundits believing that Serbia are dark horses to win the prestigious trophy in South Africa. In fact Serbia finished their qualifying campaign ahead of France, Romania and Austria to book their place at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Now the experienced forward Marko Pantelic who is currently plying his trade at Dutch side Ajax knows what Serbias strengths are
“We have a perfect mix of young and talented players along with older and experienced players. High profile names such as Dejan Stankovic, Nemanja Vidic, Branislav Ivanovic are all in the best period of their footballing lives.
That superb blend of youth and experience is one of our strengths. Furthermore, Serbian players are all very strong both mentally and physically. Plus we have a great coach in Radomir Antic. He’s a very successful coach with a lot of charisma.
Serbia has always had great individual players, but we needed a coach like Antic to make us more of a team. He always says the right words and knows how to keep everybody happy.” said to Spox.com.
Serbia have been drawn against Germany, Ghana and Australia for the group phase of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa which kicks off in Johannesburg on June 11th 2010. Their experienced players together with their youth are well equipped to progress to the knockout stages of the competition.
