Škerović: Spain always starts badly, and then shows all its talent and power

Day number two at Eurobasket and the second match for Montenegrin basketball players - this time against powerful Spain, tonight from 19.45:XNUMX p.m.

And while Milica Jovanović and company took a big step towards the knockout stage by winning against Greece, Miguel Mendes' girls did not show their power at the start, and were defeated by Latvia (67:63).

"I expect strong resistance from Spain, especially after they were defeated by Latvia yesterday," coach Jelena Škerović said from Tel Aviv.

The bad performance at the start of the four-time champions of the Old Continent, however, will not fool our selection.

"As in every European Championship, they start the first game very badly, and then in the second they show all their talent and power," Škerović warned.

Montenegro will play its game, regardless of the name of the rival.

"We are ready, we expect the game without pressure, we need to concentrate on our game and do our job," said the head coach.

Could it be Montenegro's chance?

"Good defense and let's get a counterattack out of it and if we control the game like we did in most of the match with Greece, I think we can play quite well with them," Škerović concluded.
