At the start of the 28th World Championship, Montenegrin handball players had a chance to surprise Spain, to at least be in the game for a draw until the end, but they were defeated 30:25.
Everything was decided in the very finish, when the experience of the "Ispanos" decided, and the "lions" spent the morning after the first match at the world championships after a decade of waiting, analyzing the match, aware of what an opportunity they had missed. It doesn't matter to them, they were in the game for a long time, but they have to forget about that duel, because Iran is waiting "around the corner".
Veselin Vujović's team is the next challenge for Zoran Roganović's team, so it is no wonder that Mirko Radović says that the duel with Spain must be forgotten as soon as possible, and that lessons must be learned.
"We are at the world championships after a long time, it was a pleasure to play, and we played quite well. We held on almost until the very end, the final result is not even realistic. I am convinced that we will play the next game much better, because there is room for improvement", says the 32-year-old from Cetinje.
The captain of the Macedonian Eurofarm Pelister announces a fiery duel with the team from Asia.
"I expect a manly fight, a real fight." They are a fighting team, and the same can be said for us. Of course, we are going to win".
In the 1st round, the Iranians defeated Chile 25:24, although they lost 23:20.
"In the finish they broke through and won, I think it will be an additional wind at their backs, but we shouldn't be interested in that." We will look at our game, our system and we will do our best. We have to pay attention, because they are led by our legendary expert Veselin Vujović, he will surely prepare some 'treat' for the handball world", concluded Radović.
