Partizan coach Ilić says team must press for three points against Maccabi

Sasha Ilić, coach of Serbian SuperLiga side Partizan, told reporters ahead of the club’s away match against Maccabi that he does not expect an easy game. He emphasized that the “black‑whites” must keep a high tempo and intensity to secure three points.

Ilić said a rotation of several players will continue early in the season and that the team must improve on‑the‑fly. He referenced a recent 5‑0 defeat of Maccabi by Red Star, noting it does not set the tone for the upcoming fixture. The coach expects a full stadium in Šabac and stressed that only victories and trophies count for Partizan.
