Goalkeepers
1-Dragoslav Jevric ("Ankaraspor"). Date of birth: 8.7.74. Matches for the national team: 39. Goals: 0. Debuted in the national team in 2002 and immediately became the main goalkeeper, a position he still holds. Last season was successful for the Serb both at the club and national team level, so it is unquestionable that D.Jevric will play in all matches at the World Cup, if he does not suffer any injuries. He is known for his good reflexes in saving shots, rarely encountering problems and catching crosses.
12-Oliver Kovacevic (Sofia CSKA). Date of birth: 29.10.74. Matches for the national team: 3. Goals: 0. He did not play for almost a year because his former club, Belgrade's "Zeleznik," was dissolved, and the transfer to a Turkish team did not happen after lengthy negotiations. However, he managed to secure a place in the national team as a backup goalkeeper after moving to Bulgaria in January.
23-Vladimir Stojkovic (Belgrade "Red Star"). Date of birth: 28.7.83. Matches for the national team: 0. Goals: 0. The goalkeeper of the Serbian youth team has established himself this season in one of the strongest teams in the country, "Red Star," and has been its main goalkeeper. With his great reflexes, he realistically aims to become the second goalkeeper at the World Cup, pushing O. Kovacevic to the bench. Defenders
3-Ivica Dragutinovic ("Seville"). Date of birth: 13.11.75. Matches for the national team: 25. Goals: 0. He played a long part of his career in Belgium, at Liege's "Standard" team, but he was lured by a good offer from Sevilla. In the national team, this reliable left-back, who can also dangerously attack, is predicted to have a place in the starting eleven. However, the coach will have to look for alternatives as Dragutinovic is not a young player and no longer excels in speed and endurance.
