Jovanka Radičević, after Montenegro's heavy defeat by Slovenia (28:18) at the start of the World Cup, said that the biggest problem in the match was the large number of missed clean chances.

"It's hard to beat anyone when you miss 15 or 18 missed clear chances. That was the only problem. There were some good things defensively. Slovenia hit everything they tried. Uncertainty crept in, every one of us missed, starting from me... They created a big advantage, it was difficult to make up for it against an experienced team with players who play on a big stage and have big competitions behind them," Radičević said.

The "lioness" captain believes that the defeat should not be experienced "dramatically".

"There is still time to play, I believe that we will learn lessons and that we will enjoy ourselves on the field. In this match, it seems that fear has crept in, perhaps too much desire, that must change," Radičević said.
