Zenga Chimes In

Former Italian keeper and current Red Star Belgrade coach Walter Zenga offers this opinion of Serbia and Montenegro’s chances at the World Cup:

They qualified for the World Cup by winning a very difficult group, conceding just one goal, which followed a corner. Group C (against Argentina, Côte d’Ivoire and Netherlands) is undoubtedly a very difficult one. However, my three years in the Balkans have shown me that the harder the task, the more the region’s players focus and get results. I can’t really say any more than that.

Wouldn’t it be something to see Zenga’s country square off against Serbia and Montenegro this summer! Talk about a game that would feature just a little bit of outstanding defense.
