When we talk about a team with a strong midfield, we generally mention Germany, Spain or France but today we analyse that how strong is Serbian central midfield. Nemanja Matic, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Luka Milivojevic form an ideal midfield setup. All these three players are coming after an impressive season with their respective sides.
Serbia defeated Costa Rico in their first match of the group stages with the help of a stunning free kick from their captain Aleksander Kolarov. Mladen Krstajić, the head coach of Serbian national team deployed Nemanja Matic and Luka Milivojevic in a defensive position while Sergej Milinkovic-Savic played the role of a no. 10. Matic and Milivojevic are more suitable for a defensive duty while Sergej can be used in both, defensive or offensive positions.
The steel and composure of Nemanja Matic, the pass distribution and stability of Luka Milivojevic with the strength and finesse of Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic can be a complete package for Serbia.
