Talks about his level
Luka Jovic started with six goals in five games the preseason with Fiorentina, but in official competitions things so far are not going well for the striker. After failing to establish himself at the Bernabeu, the player signed 'for free' for Fiorentina and there he expected a turbulent season.
"It will take me time to find my form, to stabilize, because I haven't played for a long time. I'm here to work, to try to fit in as soon as possible with the rest of the team, but I'm sure everything will improve game by game."
They unite
Ahead of a World Cup, the captains of ten countries will wear the necessary color at upcoming Nations League matches as part of a campaign called OneLove, promoting inclusion and fighting discrimination. The armband logo is intended to be "representative of all walks of life".
This was presented by the Dutch federation, managing to bring together nine other selections: France, England, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Wales, Norway, Switzerland and Sweden.
Bad streak
The game arrived in the former Kingdom of Yugoslavia at the end of the 19th century and since the 1920s it began to suffer from the war conflicts that took place in that part of Europe. As Yugoslavia played the first World Cup in 1930 and stood out with good performances, such as the fourth place in 1962 and the quarterfinals in 1990, from there they have not been able to go further or equal.
Serbia's approach
With Dragan Stojković as coach, the Serbian national team will pose an offensive game, trying to have the ball, but with moments of verticality, playing with a line of three, where Vlahovic, Mitrovic and Tadic are the three strikers who will take care of the attack in Qatar 2022.

Watch out for this player from Serbia
Luka Jovic, 24 year old striker, has become the main striker of his national team, this player is fundamental in his country's forward line, playing 4 games as a starter he has only scored 2 goals, so he could be lethal for his rivals.
Watch out for these players from Sweden
Striker Emil Forsberg has had an acceptable performance with Sweden, playing in 4 games, scoring two goals, being the main striker of the team, he is not going through a great moment, but this could be a great occasion to turn around and fill Zlatan's shoes.
