Men’s senior national team of Serbia will miss the next World Cup in France. After three related intercontinental competitions in Croatia, Sweden and Spain in the period from 2009 to 2013, after Qatar, the best Serbian handball players will be in the land of the Gallic roosters. That the Hungarians were better after two matches, admitted and selector Dejan Peric.
The first impression is that the chance to qualify for the 2017 World Cup missed another in Kraljevo?
We could have a rematch in Veszprém to come with much worse results than it was less than one goal. I think that we in Kraljevo managed to get back from a very bad situation, which is looking at the name rivals, could be an impulse for the next match. What if we had eight goals, and then they equalized? The question is how then preparing for this second match. In preparation, we know that in a certain part of the game to get our chance. As much as Hungarians led, those six or seven goals, we managed to middle of the second half virtually eliminates the advantage.
As in the first game, such a handball we saw only about 15 minutes …
We missed the chance technical errors and hasty shots. The Hungarians were more concrete. We were nervous in the attack. When we did not pass the first wave, we played a lot of individual’s, and it is difficult to outperform such a Hungarian defense. The defense has at certain stages was good along with goalkeeper. They gave us problems when they go to another wing pivot. This game of two on two with the corpulent rival the rules problem. We were trying to solve in different ways, but we were not successful against the pivot and their middle-back. Our players are inferior as far korpulencije. We have not solved the way we should.
Start was similar to that in the first match …
I did not like myself start in defense. We should have put to knowledge, especially in the defensive game, we’re in Veszprém came to win. To seek out a chance …
How sounds the fact that the Hungarian two goalkeepers in the match had even more than 16 Serbian Defense?
-They Were successful. Serbia is a great test match and received a goalkeeper, Tibor Ivanisevic, which is very positive for the future. Also, Arsic and Marjanac wanted the best. At this time it was their maximum. A maximum of one goalkeeper depends on many things. This information is large in numbers, but it is difficult to compare the names and Mikler Fazekas on the one hand, and our goalkeeper, who through experience and the rating is not at such a level. Once again, we get a corner tonight that will give much to our handball in the future, a deficit in what we are. Goodbye to Stanic, Ivezić and Kocic were injured, while Gajic has not responded to this gathering. These are not excuses, that’s the reality.
In the current situation where there is a Serbian handball national team success was a glimmer of hope that it might be better. Serbia will be in Rio, at the second World Cup in a row. What’s next, how to proceed?
It should take a little time and sleep this night. Analyze how all operate at all levels, what we commitments and target groups. My target group is handball. I’m not the target group positioning or removal of people from the Alliance that I can be better. I represent the entire Alliance, together with the board, not the office without UO UO or office without RSS. Officially, I was chosen to do what I do and the answer to it. I’m sorry that we did not qualify. A lot of things we can talk. We all make common goal should be going to the big competitions. Everyone should so behave and function – said Perić.
