Selector Robert Prosinečki dictated at the press conference the composition of the national football team of Montenegro for tomorrow's B League of Nations duel with Iceland in Nikšić.
"Nikić - Marušić, Vujacić, Šipčić, Radunović - Bakić, Janković, Jovović, Camaj, Radulović - Krstović," said Prosinečki.
Andrija Radulović "broke his way" into the starting 11.
"He gives energy, especially he gave energy in Wales. What we lack - one-on-one play, to get to the end, he has that. He deserves to get a chance. The latter are more or less all the players who played," he explained. selector.
Montenegro is in a historic negative streak - six defeats! Of these, four in the B League of Nations and our selection has not won a point.
"It's not pleasant, especially when you have four losses. The result is what it is. We have two games, especially the first where we have to focus on Iceland, we play in Nikšić where we played well against Wales. Iceland is dangerous, it always knows what it wants, it is dangerous from breaks. They are not a bad team at all, they have an excellent transition. They have players who have been playing together for a long time. We want to do the best we can, try to break the black streak. It won't be easy, but the boys worked well these days, now we have to transfer it to the field", says Prosinečki.
With the exception of the start, that is, friendly matches in March, Prosinečki could not combine the best that Montenegro has. Suffice it to say that Stefan Savić missed all competitive games due to injury.
"Since we started, we have always had problems with injuries, and these are very important players for Montenegro. We won't whine. We don't even have Jovetic because of the yellow cards, there are obvious problems, but that's the way it is - it didn't work out for us to be together. No whining, we will do the game as best as possible, then we will do the analysis".
Is this also a test for the selector?
"Every game is a test. So is this. The most important thing is that the players enter the match properly, so we will analyze everything when the League of Nations cycle is over."
Montenegro naively conceded goals in the League of Nations. Two from stoppage time against Iceland, then two in three minutes against Wales in Niksic, then from the penalty spot in Cardiff from an action that did not suspect danger...
"Neither as a coach nor as a player do I remember conceding two goals in the first three minutes, but we managed to come back there and were able to equalize, even in some madness and win. We lack experience, we lacked focus, I am especially angry about the first game in Iceland where we conceded goals from stoppage time. We could have prevented that. I hope that tomorrow we will do our best to end this series, to win Iceland, and then we will analyze everything else", concluded the selector of "Sokola".
The match Montenegro - Iceland starts at 18:XNUMX.
