The decimated team of coach Veselin Vukovic lost points against Rudar from Kostolac. Metaloplastika has a win, a draw and two defeats after four rounds. They entered the match with Rudar without four standard players, but Vukovic is satisfied with the performance of the cool players, whom he gave a chance.
- The old rule is that whoever is not there must be without him. We played without four players on Saturday. We are not even sure when we can count on the next game. Djukic has a cheekbone injury and eye damage. Pisarić had a virus for a week, which we did not know until a few days ago if it was a corona. Aidi has a problem with her knee and Brajović with her back and it is very likely that we will have only one of them in the next game, points out the experienced coach
Despite the defeat, Vukovic praised the young players
- The 16-year-olds have shown that they have a future. I’m just sorry we didn’t draw at least a draw, the youngsters fought heroically, some had serious minutes in the game for the first time. We missed two 7-meter throws in the last minute, a total of six. Regardless of that, I must say that Rudar is not the first in our group by chance. It is an experienced team that has shown that it knows how to control the situation during the entire game, and that experience was decisive. I feel sorry for Vule Antonijevic, the captain of our other team, who asked him to shoot an important seven-meter throw and missed, it is a sport. I say goodbye to them in the finals of the playoffs or the Champions League, that would be a sign that they have realized their potential, concluded Veselin Vukovic
