Red Star Belgrade star Osman Bukari talks tough ahead of 'eternal derby' against Partizan 

Published on: 26 April 2023

Ghana international Osman Bukari is looking forward to victory when his Red Star Belgrade side face Partizan in the ‘eternal derby’.

Red Star have already won the league title despite having games in hand but the Black Stars winger is not taking the game lightly.

Bukari wants to maintain the winning run and superiority against their rivals.

"It seems to me that after that game the fans accepted and loved me even better, which is just another indicator of how important the eternal derby is to them," he told Zunal.rs.

"I felt incredible happiness when I saw and heard the reaction of the fans after the goal, the adrenalin kicked in, it's certainly one of the best feelings in life. And it was one of the most beautiful goals in my career so far," he added.

Bukari scored in his first derby before providing an assist in the second clash.

"We talk before every game that there must be no relaxation, and I know very well that prestige is also important in the eternal derby. When I arrived at Crvena zvezda, I was aware that this is a club that always goes for victory, regardless of whether it is playing against Partizan or some team that is not attractive. People live for those games, I'm sure we won't let any relaxation happen to us," he continued.

The former Accra Lions player has been in phenomenal form since joining the Serbian giants in the summer transfer window. Bukari has now scored 11 league goals in 25 matches for the club.
