Montenegrin youth players will close their performance at the debut European Championship for players under 19 tomorrow at 19 pm - the opponent at the "Ilie Oana" stadium in Ploesti will be the toughest possible - the Spanish team, nine-time European champions at this age group and a sure semi-finalist, after two victories in the first two rounds, over Denmark 1:0 and Romania 3:1.
For Montenegro, despite two defeats, the duel with the "fury" must not be without significance - it will be an opportunity to improve the impression, to show character - that's what Bodin Tomašević thinks.
"It will be a pleasure to play against Spain. We will enter the match with respect for our rival, but with moderation, because we must first respect ourselves, our work and quality, in order to achieve what we want in that match," said the Bologna defender.
Regardless of fatigue and the consequences of the heavy defeat to Denmark (5:0), energy and motivation cannot be questioned when playing for the national team, emphasizes Tomašević.
"There is always strength when playing for the national team. We are driven by the anthem, the emblem that we carry on our hearts and in our hearts. We are motivated to do the last game in the best way, better than the previous two."
Just qualifying for the EURO is already a success, and the match against Spain is a kind of reward.
"Qualifying for the EURO is a reward for everything we have done in recent years, as a generation. The fact that we have drawn Spain as one of our rivals is a privilege, and the upcoming match is a challenge to show how much we can do and to measure ourselves against such a selection and such players."
The Spanish have already secured their place, it is possible that there will be changes in the team, but the Spanish team has no reserve players.
"If someone from Barcelona or Chelsea isn't playing, there's someone from Atletico Madrid. They have a great rotation and a lot of great players, we understand what an advantage that is."
Young Montenegrin football players are particularly motivated to correct the impression from the match against Denmark...
"We entered that match lightly, without energy, but that was our maximum at that moment. We are learning lessons from that match, we are not looking back at the downfall, but with our heads held high, as participants in the European Championship, we are moving forward," concluded Tomašević.
