Serbia

LEIPZIG, June 11 (Reuters) Serbia&Montenegro named Nenad Djordjevic as right back to build in some defensive security for the Group C match against Netherlands today.

That has allowed coach Ilija Petkovic to move Igor Duljaj into midfield to counter an attacking Dutch side and as expected midfielder Ognjen Koroman starts on the bench.

Savo Milosevic and Mateja Kezman are up front.

Netherlands coach Marco van Basten starts as expected with Wesley Sneijder, recovered from an ankle injury, in central midfield between Philip Cocu and Mark van Bommel.

Johnny Heitinga will play at right back instead of Jan Kromkamp, who was not convincing in the warm-up matches.
