Selector Dragan Markovic said that this was a very tough game, although his players earlier, when they beat Slovakia and qualified for the play-offs for the World Cup.
– We’re not going to complain. We repaid the audience in a wonderful atmosphere. As for the play-offs are concerned, let us give toughest opponents, not to say that we were winning only inferior to us.
Asked about the announcements about the possibility of leaving the team, Markovic said that it was his original intention, but subsequently changed his mind.
– I had a plan tonight to lead the national team last time, but when the captain Nikola Prce in the locker room before the game came out in front of me on behalf of all the players asked me not to abandon them, I had to change the plan. Irrespective of whether it is my contract has expired or not, I’ll walk away from Banja Luka to lead these guys. Together we will do a lot of good work, Markovic concluded.
