Ševaljević: This kind of game is not promising, we cannot expect much against Slovenia

"Both teams started the match very badly, it wasn't a great game by Poland either. There are a lot of misses, I don't even know when the first goal was scored. As the game progressed later, the Poles took control and held it until the very end. They were a better opponent," said Vasko Ševaljević

With the defeat by Poland (27:20), the last hope that Montenegrin handball players could qualify for the Olympic Games at the 28th World Championship was gone.

A new chance will be in January of next year at the European Championship in Germany, although then many excellent teams will fight for the last two places in the final grid before Paris.

The "Lions" disappointed against one of the hosts of the World Cup and scored 20 goals, the fewest in Zoran Roganović's coaching era. Mateusz Kornecki's net was shaken for the first time only in the 7th minute.

"Both teams started the match very badly, it wasn't a great game by Poland either. There are a lot of misses, I don't even know when the first goal was scored. As the game progressed later, the Poles took control and held it until the very end. They were a better opponent," said Vasko Ševaljević.

And the captain was in counter rhythm.

"We were powerless and without ideas, and we completely lost some level of form that we had. To be honest, this kind of game is not promising and I don't think we can expect much against Slovenia either. Let's see if we can consolidate at least a little, so that we can put up a worthy resistance," said the 34-year-old from Kotor.
