We gained some advantage, but that doesn't have to mean anything. We showed that we are a team that if we are at 100 percent, we can beat anyone, especially in front of our fans, but if we enter a little more relaxed, we can lose to anyone, as was also shown in front of our fans. We have to be focused, we have to try to change some things that weren't good in the first match, to achieve another victory and to advance to the next round,\" said pivot Miodrag \u0106orsovi\u0107. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the first match, the coach of our team, Didije Dinar, expressed his dissatisfaction with the excessive number of goals conceded in the second half. The defense was a serious problem at the last EHF Euro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"We have improved our defense a little compared to our performance at the European Championship. Realistically, the Finnish team is not at the level and does not have the same quality as the three teams we played against at the European Championship. I think we have raised the level of our defense a little and I hope we will look even better tomorrow. Also, they played \"seven on six\", which allowed them to score some easy goals, I think that is the main thing we have to pay attention to tomorrow\", emphasizes the 25-year-old Pljevljak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slovenia and Montenegro played a super exciting and uncertain match at the recently concluded EP, and Uro\u0161 Zorman's team was better in the goal score (41:40). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"There's still time, we should get used to it. Someone is always missing, someone is always injured, some players who were very important are now gone, and there is little room to get used to it and then it is very difficult to reach the desired form. I believe that if we are complete, if we are at 100 percent, I really believe that we can get past Slovenia. First, of course, we need to pay attention to Finland tomorrow,\" said \u0106orsovi\u0107. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luka Radovi\u0107 was impeccable in Finland \u2013 scoring nine goals from as many attempts. The winger from Nik\u0161i\u0107 believes that the team should take the field as if it were 0-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"We gained a very good four-goal lead in the first game, but I don't think that should put any pressure on us. We need to play as if it's 0-0 and we have 60 minutes to give our maximum and win this game,\" said Radovi\u0107, adding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"I think we need to start from the very beginning with concentration and play a little better defense, to reduce the opposing team to the minimum number of goals.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Radovi\u0107 returned once again for the match in Vantaa, which came after a disappointing performance at the European Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"It was definitely difficult, we entered the second half with some fear again, where they managed to catch up to us, but we managed to get out of it again and win the game,\" he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Great fan support is expected at the \"Bemax Arena\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"As always, it is a great privilege to play in front of our audience and we hope for a full house,\" concluded Radovi\u0107. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The match at the Bemax Arena is scheduled for 6 p.m. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Montenegrin men's handball team will play today against Finland in the rematch of the World Championship qualifiers. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":929730,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[18921,1280,2092,17015,10418,25487],"naslovna":[],"class_list":["post-944440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport","tag-baraz","tag-kvalifikacije-za-svjetsko-prvenstvo","tag-luka-radovic","tag-miodrag-corsovic","tag-muska-rukometna-reprezentacija-crne-gore","tag-muska-rukometna-reprezentacija-finske"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=944440"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944440\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":944519,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944440\/revisions\/944519"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/929730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=944440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=944440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=944440"},{"taxonomy":"naslovna","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naslovna?post=944440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
