From the special reporter "Vijesti"

Vrsac - Radmila Miljanić and Jovanka Radičević shared the minutes again against Iceland (26:16), in the first round of the group at the European Championship, and the right wing of Đer was much more noticeable. The popular Joka entered at the beginning of the sequel and was one of the key players.

"It doesn't matter who plays, it's important that he has energy both from the bench and on the field. That's what adorns us, that's what makes us recognizable. It was like that from the beginning of the game, but every first match is difficult. We needed to "enter" the game, to feel each other, to feel the field and the opponent, and I am glad that we played until the end. We didn't care about the result, we built every action patiently and looked forward to every defense. I hope it will be like that in the future," Radičević said.

Many doubted the goalkeepers of Montenegro, and after every game one of them is a heroine. This time it was Marina Vukčević...

"We are satisfied, this gives us strength and faith in our own capabilities, because we saw that we can do it. I hope that we will play the next game at this level. Kudos to my teammates, who helped me shine," said Vukčević.

The first player who entered the field from the bench was, to everyone's surprise, Andrea Klikovac. The left-handed handball player from Skopje's Vardar replaced Katarina Bulatović and Milena Knežević in the middle of the defense and confirmed Dragan Adžić's expectations that she can be an adequate alternative.

"I was hoping to get on the field, but I didn't expect to play this much. I'm glad that I helped the team and that we played excellent defense, which brought us the victory," said the 21-year-old from Podgorica.

Were you surprised when you got a chance in the attack?

"In addition to this much competition, it is an honor for me to be able to contribute to the national team by playing in defense.

Were you nervous, because this is your debut in big competitions?

"I felt a great responsibility, because I played in the middle in defense. We respected everything we agreed with the coach and the result came", concluded Klikovac.
