Handball players from Montenegro and Serbia once again face to face - this time at the start of the European Championship organized by Austria, Hungary and Switzerland.

The neighborly clash is scheduled for Friday at 20.30:XNUMX in Debrecen, and the rival "Lioness" expects a big fight.

"The one who has more desire and will, the bigger heart and of course the one who is better in defense will win," said Marija Petrović, one of the more experienced players in the Serbian national team.

It is she who will command the defense of Serbia, and when it was stated that Montenegro and the new coach Suzana Lazović will play an even more aggressive defense, she pointed out...

"I think they play like that regardless of who their coach is. We have to focus on us and play hard, combative and aggressive, to have an answer to their game. Whoever 'fights' more will win this match." added Petrović for the portal of the Handball Association of Serbia.

He also says that there is not much philosophy for this match.

"I think they have more pressure, while we are distracted. We have to work on defense in general, especially for Montenegro, because it is the first and most important game in the championship. With all that, the opening of the championship is always the most difficult, especially when we have an opponent like this then it has to be stuck," concluded Marija Petrović.
