The Serbian stopper has urged his teammates to concentrate on the defensive aspect of their game, or risk facing the consequences.

Following the debacle at Goodison Park, Fulham gave the Red Devils a major scare at home, while even Southampton managed to net twice after an impressive showing at St. Mary’s Stadium.
Ferguson must have been fuming after three games into the Premier League season, where his side have shipped in nearly five goals, just one shy of their total scoring tally.
Skipper Vidic has returned the squad but so far has not replicated his world-class form that made him the best centre-back in Europe by a long margin. And he has now urged his fellow players to focus on their defensive abilities, or they could fail to win
the League once again.
Speaking to reporters, the centre-back said that the game against the Saints was tough, but the team needs to improve quickly if they are to challenge for the Premiership title this season.
"It was a difficult game and we conceded two goals we're not happy with at all. We've been told before the game what Southampton's strengths are, what their game is and what they're trying to achieve. In the end, they did it so it's disappointing. I think
it's only the second time in a year myself and Rio have played together so it's a long time and obviously it's tough as everyone needs more games.”
"I have to say, we are not really pleased with the goals we've conceded. There was a lack of concentration," the former Spartak Moscow man was quoted as saying.
The International break comes at a good time for United, who will be able to rest on their laurels before resuming matches from the 15th of September.
