Vučinić: We came for three points and took them, kudos to Adžić, Jovetić is an example, and Janković is the team's engine

From the special reporter "Vijesti"

Three out of three, one triumph at Gorica and two away - it couldn't have been a better start to the new cycle. Regardless of the fact that in Riga it was - unnecessarily - tense until the end.

Montenegrin football players also defeated Latvia in Riga (2:1), in the 3rd round of the League of Nations. "Falcons" led 2:0 through Vasilije Adžić, but in the end they were a little shaky after their rival reduced the deficit in the 82nd minute.

- I can be satisfied with 80 minutes, but not with the last 10. We started to panic after the goal, which is somewhat normal, because the opponent was on adrenaline after he scored against our net and was looking for another goal with all his might - said coach Mirko Vučinić at a press conference.

There were many things that made him happy, but also things that still made him angry.

- We improved when we had the ball at our feet and for a large part of the game we were in control of the game. However, when we conceded a goal, another naive one, it angered me, as did the way the game went after that. We played our third game in a short number of days and I have to praise the boys - we came for three points and we took them. We are happy and smiling as we go home - stressed Vučinić.

Latvia scored a goal for the first time in the Nations League.

- As I said in the announcement - even if we had conceded two goals, and if we had won, I would have been happy. Victory is the most important thing. We have won nine points, everything is nice, but we turn to Armenia and we want to keep working with our heads down and take three more points.

Stevan Jovetić was once again a true leader.

- And at halftime I said that Jovetic was a prime minister because of the way he entered the game, how much he fought and how much he ran. And when he has the ball at his feet I don't have to waste words.

Adžić launched Montenegro with two goals.

- Kudos to him, he played a great game. I made a mistake by not substituting him after the second goal, because I will need him for the next game.

Nikola Krstović was not standing, he feels tired...

- He's definitely tired, he's had few games and it shows. He needs minutes because of his constitution. Simply put, when we don't know where to go with the ball, we just send it to him and he fights - there are few point guards like that.

Vučinić stressed that he was satisfied with 80 minutes, but at 1:0 Latvia was hitting the post and the crossbar...

- We had four big chances at 2:0, but I know there were mistakes and I want to work on that, just like my guys. I'm here to work. We have nine points and that's the most important thing.

Marko Janković started his third match in a short period.

- He is the engine of the team, he knows when to step on the ball, when to speed up or slow down. But Adžić and Lončar also did that, who played well, and I have to praise Latković as well. It is important that we are a good group and someone will always stand out, and it is easier for the masters to stand out from the group - concluded Vučinić.
