Red Star Belgrade welcome Arsenal amid renewed optimism
Serbian league leaders Red Star Belgrade are second in their Europa League group, two points behind Arsenal.BELGRADE -- The question brought laughs around the Red Star Belgrade press room and was followed by a semi-serious answer. Had the Serbian league leaders been practicing for an exact replica of the marvellous goal, scored by Dusan Savic, that knocked Arsenal out of the UEFA Cup in 1978?
"No, but his son is in the team now so we'll let him score this time," said Vladan Milojevic, the Red Star coach.
It would be some story if Vujadin Savic emulated his father's heroics in the sides' Europa League group stage meeting on Thursday but Milojevic's answer had added connotations.
