The Montenegrin handball players are clear - the attack was not up to par tonight, there were many mistakes that France took advantage of and registered an easy victory.
The Lionesses are at the start of the second phase defeated by France in Skopje - 27:19. The most important match of the championship follows on Tuesday against Romania.
"We played well in defense, but we made a lot of mistakes in attack. We gave them 'live' balls, they ran counters one on one. We can't do that not only against France, but also against weaker teams. We did our best , saw where we are wrong. The match against Romania awaits us - we know them well and everything depends on us. We can't wait for that match. It's also good that Spain and the Netherlands played a draw, it gives us every chance to go to Ljubljana. Everything depends on us I think we are better than Romania, especially in defense and that we will show our true colors," said Marta Batinović after tonight's match.

Montenegro scored the first goal after six minutes in the first half, and the identical situation was seen in the rest.
"I think we transferred the mistakes from the attack to the defense, which was at an enviable level. We have to focus more on the attack. We also defended Darlo, France is a top team, they punished our mistakes. We turn to Romania and we want to prepare as well as possible for that game. I wouldn't want to underestimate them, but for us that game is like a final. We know that everything starts from Neagu and we have to dedicate ourselves to that," said Đurđina Jauković.
