Partizan gets ready for the derby duel with Dinamo, Zekic has a full group ready

Partizani has played three games in the first four rounds of Superiore (a meeting of the first week with Teuta has been postponed for later due to Partizani's commitments in the Conference League) and in these three games it has secured five points so far, with one victory and two draws. The good news is that the red team does not lose, but the bad news is that Tirana, the main rival in the competition, has gone to 10 points, so it has immediately created a gap that should be considered worrying for Partizan at this moment. This year, the formula of the competition has changed and a "Final Four" system will be played, where the four best in the ranking then meet in the "play-off" to win the championship title. The fight to catch the top-4 will be fierce and in this fight any contending team may even be sacrificed. So Partizan does not want to waste time, but to return as soon as possible to victory in the championship. This is what coach Zoran Zekic wants, who has an advantage this time. He has a full squad back, as several players who were previously injured are now fit and ready to contribute to the team. In this way, the next game forces Partizan not to think about holidays at all. After the draw with Egnatia, the reds had to immediately go down to the field yesterday, as part of the preparations for Friday's derby against Dinamo. At 18:00, when Zeki? announced, everyone was on the playing field. Before training started, the coach decided to hold a meeting on the playing field, which lasted a little more than 15 minutes. It was the coach who spoke first, as his gestures seemed to demand more from the team and occasionally communicated specifically with certain players. In addition to the coach and some of the football players, the sports director, Arbër Abilaliaj, also spoke. In short, the Reds intend to make a breakthrough, to get more on the field than draws that negatively affect the standings and morale of the group.

Even though some injuries are broken, there are still players who are not ready yet. Andi Hadroj continues to have problems and yesterday he engaged only in aerobic exercises, same as Mensah and Sembene. At one point, Zekic approached them and was seen chatting and discussing their physical problems, seeking to learn about the condition. On the other hand, Pano Qirko did not participate in yesterday's session on the field, but was engaged in the gym. But Zekiç receives positive signals from Mba and Da Silva, as he is expected to hope until the end for Andi Hadroji. Good news is also the return of Maget available. As for yesterday's training session, it started with a running session, where on one side were the starters of the match with Egnatia, who underwent only a training session, without contact with the ball. In the rest, there were the reserve players, who played a test match and where Zekic followed them closely to see their condition. What stood out was the fact that Viktor da Silva trained normally with the group and looked in good shape. The Nigerian Mba is on the way to full recovery and can start against Dinamo as a starter.
