Serbian national team coach Ljubomir Obradovic was pleased with the game of his selectors in a draw with Germany 22:22.
I am very pleased with what the girls have shown. Struggle, desire, chemistry, but we did not get out of the injury. Jovana Stoiljkovic hurt, we tried with Andrea Lekic. The lack of player changes contributed to the lost point. We could lose, but we can be satisfied. The girls went out to show to the Germans that we were there who did not shit and want to win in the middle of Germany.
The new game, the Netherlands in less than 24 hours?
– Now there is no time for grief or joy. A very difficult game awaits us. Now we will see what we are and what we are. Tomorrow. Serbian mentality. With less rest, we lost 10 in Montenegro, and on the next day we won six goals. We want to be in the right way against the vice-champion of Europe. This team with recovered girls will have a nice chance for something further. We played very well in the defense. We had a couple of mistakes that we knew in the announcement.
Montenegro was unexpectedly defeated yesterday by Japan, and after the match angry as a lynx was the selector Per Johanson. Not so much to his players as how many judges and opponents coach from Denmark, who told TV2 cameras immediately after the match, said he had no respect for him and that he could go „to the devil“.
„We did not underestimate the rival, and at half-time I was not satisfied, even though we had three goals advantage. I believed that we would fix things, but Japan was much better than us in the second half. I think that the judges at the end of the match have taken the chance to get a point, but that’s over now. “
Montenegro’s coach is aware that his team has to beat both Tunisia and Brazil to avoid losing the eighth finals.
„Everything is still in our hands, but the situation is tough. We need to get both games to the end, we can not rely on anyone else. Now the character of the players will be seen. The pressure is high, but I think we’ll be ready.
Slovenia is on the threshold of the eighth final of the World Championship! As promised, the Slovenes won the straight rivals in the knockout stage – Angola 32:25 and came up with four points, which, along with two against poor Paraguay, would be enough to pass on and the greatest success of the Slovenian women’s handball.
I am very happy that in the second half we raised the level of our game and improved the defense, taking advantage of the chances that we missed in the first half. It pleases me to play fighting, to move well in defense and to succeed. Who would have thought we would have two wins and a goal difference of +5 after three games? I am particularly proud of that, „said after the winner, Uros Bregar.
