Southampton pair Dusan Tadic and Shane Long see their countries face each other tonight in a crucial World Cup Qualifier. The Republic of Ireland are travelling to Serbia for the match, and it’s very important for both teams to try and snatch a result and get their campaign for Russia 2018 off to a good start.
Quoted by Kurir, Tadic said: “I talked to a teammate from Southampton, Shane Long, and I even pulled out some information about their team and he didn’t know it (laughs). The greatest danger that threatens us is him.”
The Serbian nation have fallen a little out of love with their talented football squad after failure to qualify for Euro 2016. Players were thought to have a bad attitude and the media unearthed several stories which suggested some members of the squad weren’t as professional as they should be whilst on international duty.
Serbia have a chance to turn things around tonight in Belgrade, and Tadic will be hoping his spying mission has helped.
