Eh! Serbia has enough attacking talent to scare ANY team on the planet, but they also have enough internal drama to fill a whole Netflix series! Dušan Vlahović is banging in goals at Juventus, Aleksandar Mitrović became a goal machine in Saudi Arabia, and Sergej Milinković-Savić pulls the strings in midfield. The talent is THERE — but can this squad stop arguing with each other long enough to win a tournament?
Manager: Dragan Stojković Key Players: Dušan Vlahović, Aleksandar Mitrović, Sergej Milinković-Savić FIFA Ranking: ~33rd
The Squad
- Dušan Vlahović is a pure goalscorer at Juventus — tall, powerful, clinical, and capable of scoring from anywhere in the box
- Aleksandar Mitrović scored 28 goals in his first Saudi Pro League season and brings incredible aerial threat and experience
- Sergej Milinković-Savić is a complete midfielder with height, passing range, and an eye for goal from deep positions
- Serbia's football tradition produces technically gifted players who can compete with the best in Europe
- Dragan Stojković has brought more organization and tactical discipline to a squad that was previously chaotic
The Verdict
Serbia on paper is a quarter-final team. Serbia in reality is a team that finds new ways to implode at every tournament. If they can keep the drama in the dressing room and the quality on the pitch, they COULD go far. But that's a BIG if! The talent is undeniable — the consistency is the problem.
Tomorrow: #23 — Stay tuned for the next World Cup favourite!
