Jovanka Radičević says goodbye to the national team: I want to be remembered while I'm at the top

Jovanka Radičević ends her career in the national team at the 15th European Championship, one of the hosts of which is Montenegro.

One of the best wings of the XXI century, the girl who was among the most deserving of the European gold and Olympic silver in 2012, will go down in history as the best scorer of the Lionesses and the player with the most appearances.

"I didn't make the decision overnight. We all strive for beautiful things and moments, and I'm someone who listens to the heart for all the decisions it makes. I'm calm, because I really want to devote myself to other things, that's why this moment has come, let it be now." said Radicevic.

Montenegro plays Spain tomorrow at the opening of Group D of the EHF Euro, and the popular Joka hopes to make it to the final weekend in Ljubljana.

"Many wonder why I am saying goodbye now. I am at the top level, but I like to be remembered as such. I know that I have been at the top for years, I give 100 percent of myself to every training and match, what I experience with the national team is the strongest emotion, I want that emotion to celebrate with my family and fans. We are aiming for Ljubljana, it's everyone's dream. I would ask the fans to be our eighth player and to send a picture to the world of what it's like in Montenegro, how to love your country," said the 36-year-old right winger .
