Strahinja Erakovic: "Vojvodina are a great team and a big club"

Zenit are playing Serbia’s Vojvodina on Saturday 12 October, however due to your international commitments you’ll miss the match against your compatriots. Nevertheless, do you feel Zenit’s games against Serbian teams are something special for you?

Yes, I am very happy that another Serbian club, other than Crvena Zvezda, will play a friendly against Zenit. Vojvodina are a great team and a big club, like Crvena Zvezda and Partizan Belgrade. They probably have the largest fan base after the two Belgrade clubs and are a famous side. I don’t know how things are going for them right now, but generally they are a very strong club, and I am sure it will be a great match. 

Do you follow Zenit’s friendly games against Serbian teams, and who do you support? 

I always support Zenit of course, I am a Zenit player! But I am just very pleased that my fellow countrymen are invited to play against Zenit and these matches with Serbian teams are happy events for me, because Serbia is my homeland.
