The current sports director of Red Star Belgrade, and former red and white player, Mitar Mrkela, spoke to the microphones of the Serbian team's online channel during Thursday's match against Milan.
Here are his statements, as reported by Milannews.it:
"Compared to 30 years ago now, it is a completely different time. The difference between traditional clubs from Eastern countries such as Red Star and the rich ones is much greater."
"There is more money in circulation and the big teams have become small colonies of the best players in the world. Seen this way, the difference we speak of is now in Milan's favour."
"However, we have a team that is the best in the last 15-20 years Our professional staff, led by Dejan Stanković, knows Italian football very well."
