The women’s junior team of Serbia has made the first part of preparations for the European Championship which will be held in Slovenia on July 27th. Before the matches in the Golovec and Zlatorog Celje halls, the selectors of the coach Dusan Savic will have a lot to do so that they would be ready for the duels with France, Spain and Germany ready for their debut on the big stage.
It was public opinion that the 1998 generation will not see a big competition this summer. Girls and professional staff, however, did believe otherwise?
– Sport has the charm that there is not everything as objectively or objectively considering, but it gives the chance to someone else who knows how to cling, who is clean in the head and knows how to bear the burden. We have made a placement on EP and we are in the second week of preparation. The hardest part in Belgrade is behind us. We continue preparations from Wednesday in Kragujevac for seven days. There are two games with Montenegro there waiting for us and we will find two male batting teams with whom we will sparign. We have already played here with the cadets of Rakovica and this proved to be a good move. We will start the last part in Belgrade and start the previous way of Slovenia, because we will play two matches with Croatia in Croatia. It will be a total of eight games, enough preparation for the European Championship.
Is the group serious?
– At the start of July 27 we play with France, a day later with Spain, and on July 30 with the Germans. The greatest quality of this generation is that most players play the Super and Super B league. That was enough to pass the qualifications. We have debtors, the French who got us in the qualifications for the European Cup. They played on goal with Crnogorca, which gives us the right to believe we are somewhere.
Has the composition changed over the qualifications?
– In the qualifications we could count on cadets. There are no now, there are injuries, seven players are new in the 18th. That’s it, in two years we have seen 42 players in qualifications and preparations. What’s left, that’s the best, it’s used its chance. Looking forward, we make a new quality and game for these players that we have …
For the first time, the 1998 generation will face the tournament system of the competition. How do they prepare seven matches in ten days?
– It’s a serious system. These players do not train twice a day. It’s a problem, it’s hard to get used to, which is a prerequisite to play. All our rivals in the training section are doing more work. During the preparations we change four times the place of residence, we are totally 32 days together, which will help us to mature, to be at that level. Against such representations, you first need to prevent light goals from the contention, make a defense of certain strength, and find the best action for your attackers. It’s easy to see when it’s talked, but it needs to become part of the mindset. We invested a lot of work both on the field and outside. We have no right to promise, but we believe that quality will come to the fore. We are expecting seven games. It will be a great experience for these girls to see and recognize the quality they own best. I expect him to watch us in high-ranking matches. No one can take that right away, said Dusan Savic, the coach
