OBRADOVIC: We did not succeed, SOSTARIC: We clicked as a team

The coach of Serbia, Ljubomir Obradović, saw the defeat of his team against Croatia as follows, as a result of which the passage to the next phase depends on the eventual victory of Hungary over the Netherlands:

– Uncertain and hard match, in the end they were a shade better. In the last 14 minutes, we almost didn’t kick a goal, we missed two penalties. We also played a draw, we didn’t succeed. We have defeated ourselves. We are in a situation to depend on the second, but it remains a pity for this game, in the first half we easily lost four differences, in the second half we failed to keep two differences. Unfortunately, we can’t turn back time – said the selector Obradović after the match.

Croatian coach Nenad Sostaric shone with satisfaction after the triumph over Serbia 25:24, and how could he not, when his national team, despite all the forecasts, transferred the maximum number of points to the second round, even though it arrived at the European Championship in Denmark weakened.

– The match against Serbia was difficult both physically and mentally. We played great and congratulations to my players. We left our hearts on the field. We are very happy that we went further with four points. Our first goal was to win at least one match. I am glad that we have shown everyone in Croatia that there is also women’s handball, and that it can be more beautiful than men’s. In men’s handball, strength is the main thing, and in women’s handball you can see a lot. Nobody in Croatia believed in us before we left. We are the only ones who believed. And in Croatia you are either a genius or an idiot. We clicked as a team and as a family. We have shown everyone that we are something, not nothing. Luka Modrić also sent us a message – said Šoštarić
