Serbia has collected four consecutive defeats in the Nations League, but among the few positive aspects of the Balkan national team, the name of Aleksandar Stankovic stands out. According to RTS, the Inter midfielder represents one of the most reliable resources to build on, not just a simple promise to wait for.
In an in-depth analysis dedicated to the national team’s current moment, the Serbian media highlighted how Stankovic is proving he deserves a stable role in the senior squad. In the match against the Netherlands, Serbia started several players still eligible for the Under 21 European Championship, including the Nerazzurri player. For RTS, the lesson is clear: age should matter less than quality. If a player can improve the team, there is no need to wait just because he is young.
The newspaper particularly emphasized two aspects of his game: his ability to manage the ball starting from deep areas and his consistency in defensive work. In the section dedicated to the Inter player, it is highlighted how he once again showed quality in building play from the deepest positions, combining it with a solid defensive contribution.
There is also a concrete episode that RTS highlights: in the action leading to Serbia’s goal against the Netherlands, Stankovic was the man who started the move with an excellent vertical pass forward. A detail that confirms his ability to make an impact even in offensive development. Hence the most significant phrase of the entire analysis: “His time in the national team is the present, not just the future.” An important endorsement for the Nerazzurri midfielder.
The message coming from Serbia is therefore clear: Stankovic is no longer simply considered a youngster to be prepared for the coming years, but as a player already ready to be a stable part of the senior national team. In a complicated phase for Serbia, the Inter midfielder represents one of the elements on which to build the team’s future.
