Vuja praises the surname: Whenever we got close, Branko Vujović would appear

From the special reporter "Vijesti"

In the first game in Krakow on the fourth day of the 28th World Cup, Montenegro defeated Iran 34:31.

As many as 65 goals were scored, which surprised the coach of the team from Asia, the legendary Veselin Vujović from Cetinje.

"Honestly, I didn't expect this. There were too many goals for my taste, especially we conceded too many in the 1st half. We were too open, entering the match and the central part did not go well for us, and everything later was history and the attempt to reach Montenegro. In the moments when we were close, Branko Vujović would appear with incredible shots from 10 meters. We had no defense, you can't open up and play at 15 meters," said the 61-year-old from Cetinje.

He did not blame his players for the defeat. On the contrary.

"Montenegro is the better national team at the moment, I said that in the announcement. I can never be satisfied after a defeat, but we did not sulk. We played a good game, the people who watched enjoyed all of this. We showed that we want to fight, that we can, and that's a great moment and motivation for these guys."

Iran have one foot in the main stage, which means they will play four more games in Krakow, but will be underdogs in each one.

"Unless a miracle happens, we will play four more games here. We will really try to enjoy those four matches, I will give a chance to all the players, because there are 20 of them here, and I will never allow someone to 'pump' us up and create a goal difference against us. As much as possible, I will try to make this a school for boys who have earned it by qualifying for the World Championship," Vujović concluded.
