Branko Vujović: Against France, both defense and attack must be at the highest possible level

From the special reporter "Vijesti"

Branko Vujović again played a masterful match, scoring nine goals as against Iran, which was enough to win over Chile (35:33) and enter the main stage with two points.

It was not easy, the persistent South Americans kept coming back, used the large number of suspensions of the "lions" and the red card to Nemanja Grbović to threaten for a long time, but the victory was not in doubt.

"Chile pleasantly surprised me with their tactical game in attack, and I think we could have used their defense more, we should have dropped the ball more to the pivots. They didn't allow us to shoot from 9-10 meters, that's where space opens up on the line. The Chileans had nothing to lose, they played without pressure, while we fought for our lives, to pass to the second stage. I can't be satisfied with the game, but I can be satisfied with the result and I hope it will stay like that until the end of the tournament," said the 24-year-old from Nikšić.

Does the defense have to be better?

"For sure, but against France both the defense and the attack must be at the highest possible level if we think about a positive result".

Will you be physically able to endure?

"We are already feeling tired, we are human, we also have some limits. The legs are heavy, but our physiotherapists are here, we will try to rest as much as we can. I hope we will be real against France", said Branko Vujović.
