The atmosphere created by the fans in Bijelo Polje, at the match between the handball players of Montenegro and Poland, showed that the national selections have the greatest support in areas where guests are not so frequent.
In Bijelo Polje, Montenegrin handball players also celebrated their placement in the first major competition, the 2008 European Championship in Norway, and the scenes from "Nikoljec" on June 17, 2007 after the second victory over Portugal in the play-off (33:27) are part of the history of our sport. .
In 2007, the "Lions" also played against the Netherlands in Bijelo Polje (32:27), as well as in May last year against Slovakia (31:30). Although the atmosphere was always excellent, that duel with the Slovaks will be the last in Bijelo Polje, at least for a while.
The reason - the Montenegrin national team handball players asked to play only in Podgorica and Nikšić in the future.
In a letter sent to RSCG before the European Championship in Croatia, which "Vijesti" had access to, Dragan Đukić's elected officials requested that the hotel "Verde" be their "base for all subsequent gatherings, because it is the only one that meets the conditions necessary for uninterrupted functioning and the work of the national team".
By the way, they demand that the game be played "in one of the two largest cities, Podgorica or Nikšić, both because of the capacity of the halls and because of the geographical location".
We will see how long RSCG will meet these requirements, because it can certainly spend less money in another hotel or city in Montenegro. After all, the "lionesses" did not lack anything in Bijelo Polje and the "Dominus" hotel, which does not have a swimming pool and all the accompanying facilities like "Verde", just like "Sidro" in Bar before the World Cup in Germany, where they reached the quarterfinals. For them, the result was in the foreground and it arrived...
In addition to being accommodated exclusively in "Verde" and playing in Podgorica and Nikšić, the "lions" also demanded that daily wages be determined (for Croatia, they received more than a modest 13 euros, and for preparation days in Montenegro, six and a half). , as well as "a sufficient amount of equipment to finally look like a representative selection both on and off the field".
They also stated that "functioning in one tracksuit and one t-shirt during the entire gathering is impossible, and the colorful equipment in training, despite the beautiful color, is not an image that we should send to the world".
They also stated that "based on the results so far and our attitude towards the jersey with the national emblem, we believe that we are not asking for too much, but only the basic things that every member of the national team deserves".
Before going to the European Championship, the "lions" received 25 sets of microfiber and cotton tracksuits, jackets and bags, which they were obliged to return after the performance in Croatia.
At the meeting in Zagreb, the players informed the sports director of the national team, Blaž Lisičić, that they did not want to return the equipment, and RSCG economist Ranko Janković stated in a letter to the Board of Directors that because of this, he would not be able to prepare the appropriate equipment for the next gathering.
By the way, he informed the Board that the expensive electronic massage device was returned damaged...
