A match of great importance, on Saturday from 18:15 to 35:30, against Serbia, which also lost in the first round, against Belarus (XNUMX:XNUMX).
The winner stays in the game for the second stage, the loser is bye.
"We need to restart, to look at some things that we did worse against Croatia and to concentrate on the match with Serbia. An important match for us and for them, I expect a great fight", said coach Zoran Roganović.
Defense will be the key, he points out.
"Goalkeepers also have a big role. I think those two segments will decide," Roganović emphasized.
The defense against Croatia was excellent in the first half, but later on, due to the attacking confusion in the 5-1 zone, Montenegro conceded many easy goals.
"The attack must be better, we made a lot of mistakes in attacking the 5-1 zone, but I doubt that we will have that problem against Serbia, which plays a classic 6-0 formation. We also have to take care of exclusions, which should let's reduce it," Roganović said.
