Croatia see Jovica Cvetkovic as a great danger, and selector of „fire“ Lino Cervar pointed out for „Jutarnji List“ what could break that match. The motive will not be lacking in any selection, this is already clear now.
– Emotions are great when you control them. I must not allow emotions to lead us in the wrong way, I must work to ensure that players do not cling to that stress, pressure and responsibility. I know very well what our people want, but we must first of all think about our game, because it brings the result. The audience will express their desire and will carry us with cheering, and we must return by playing a good handball. Then that symbiosis will bring joy to all of us, „said Cervar.
He discovered and in what way he plans to outwit Jovica Cvetkovic and his chosen ones.
– Defense will be crucial, but it must not be defensive and blocking, but proactive. So, I will ask my players to initiate changes, not to wait for what the opponent will do, and then react, because it is usually late then. We have to initiate changes in the opponent’s attack, we have to attack, be aggressive and get rid of problems from our goal – added the coach of Croatian handball players.
Let’s remind, in the group with Serbia and Croatia there are more Sweden and Iceland, and in the second phase there will be three selections.
