Serbia’s group at the World Cup in Germany passed without a defeat (3-2-0), and then it was eliminated from Montenegro (29:31) in the eighth finals.
Serbian national team coach Ljubomir Obradovic commented on the defeat of Montenegro 29:31 in the eighth finals of SP 2017:
– Since we are here at the World Cup, this was definitely the weakest match. There was a great desire, but also a great experience of the representation of Montenegro that has been a long time in this composition. We were not concentrated about entering the beer. We’ve received a lot of goals for these racing. We had a lot of missed shots at the start of the match from unexplored situations. In the future, we will have to work on the second and third wave. We received a lot of goals in the fast center and player changes, and we knew that. This resulted in the result. We did not manage to get back, we lost our balls, received light goals. There are qualifications for the European Championship. It follows a deep analysis, what and how to proceed. We can do much better. We’ve given a much better game than this one today. The lack of concentration, perhaps the fear of victory and inexperience led to that.
