"We take every opponent seriously - look at the other results, there are many surprises in the tournament," warned our goalkeeper Marta Batinović.

Dijana Mugoš had a similar message from Sweden.
"We are completely focused on Paraguay - to win that match, and then we will think about Hungary", the left wing of Montenegro is clear.
The Lionesses had no problems against Cameroon at the start, but it seems that the attacking game could have been more fluid and precise.
"I think we can really do better, especially in the attacking phase," Batinović added.
It was only the fifth time that Paraguay was at the global handball tournament, and two years ago in Spain, it finished in 29th place in the competition of 32 teams.
"These kinds of opponents are the most difficult to play with, but it is important to play with each other, to reduce the number of technical errors - we certainly still have a lot of reserves," the goalkeeper of Montenegro emphasized.
Marta defended against Cameroon in the first half and was beaten only twice.
"Now Paraguay is waiting for us, and only then the real European handball against Hungary," added Batinović.
As expected, the selection from South America had no chances at the start against Hungary (35:12).
"Paraguay is a totally different team from Cameroon. They are a little lower, faster, they rely a lot on feints. However, we always focus on us - that we get better from game to game," concluded Mugoša.
Placement in the main round of the World Cup will be won by the three best teams from the group, who will then "cross spears" in Gothenburg in a new group with the three best from Group A - Sweden, Croatia, China or Senegal.
From the new group in the main round, only the two best selections will qualify for the quarterfinals.
