After two European championships and one world championship, the "lions" will not be part of the big competition next January...

Montenegrin handball players did not manage to qualify for the World Championship after 120 minutes of barrage they never showed that they are better than Italy at this moment - a national team that has not been part of the big stories since 1998.

"We didn't deserve to go to the World Cup and we won't go," goalkeeper Nebojša Simić was realistic and honest as always.

Although they were disappointing this time, the "lions" got applause from the packed "Morača" in the end

"Perhaps we didn't even deserve the audience cheering for 60 minutes and singing songs with us after the defeat, but we experienced it," Simic wrote on Instagram.

One of the most experienced and best in the national team of Montenegro believes that everything will be better in the future...

"I hope that we will be carried by that energy and the respect of our people to return to the old ways and win participation in the next championship," emphasized the Montenegrin goalkeeper and finally said.

"Representation has always been and always will be a great honor for every true athlete".
