Serbian national team coach Jovica Cvetkovic will not be able to count on 22 players he called in the EHF Sunday. Due to injuries, the „eagles“ are not complete in preparations in Kovilovo, but the motif is not missing from the medals at the medal selection on Tuesday in Pozarevac (19 hours), that is, by the representation of Austria on Thursday and Saturday in Tulina and Zudstad.
– We initially planned to do 10 trainings in the full composition, for which we did not have time during the qualifications. I can not be satisfied because we are not complete, we have a lot of problems with injuries. Nenadić, Zelenović, Mladenović will not be with us this week, and Rastko Stojković has come up with a wounded knee. What is it, there it is. We will look to use the time in the best possible way. We’ve done four training so far. The player’s concentration is at a high level. These three games will be used by us before the European Championship in a week – says the coach who is looking forward to forming a Mediterranean selection that should also be played at the 2018 Games.
When I heard that we were going to be a guest at the celebration of the city of Pozarevac, I wanted to make a Mediterranean selection instead of selecting the league since the Mediterranean Games in 2018. This is a new Serbian national team for some future period. There are some younger guys who can be available for the next two or three years. It will be an interesting game. We’ll try some things. It will also be a signal for these guys to be able to reach A team with work – Cvetkovic is clear
