\"It's a great honor to be called the hero of such a big competition. I hope to experience the same games like this in the final tournament of the European Championship, but also the World Championship,\" said So\u0161i\u0107. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the greatest strength of this generation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Our greatest strength is our heart when we go out on the field, but also off it. We act like brothers, and I think it shows on the field, because we die for each other,\" So\u0161i\u0107 pointed out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captain Lazar Popovi\u0107 emphasizes that everyone is still in a state of euphoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The impressions are phenomenal, we are all overjoyed and we are still under euphoria. I think we knew the result would be like this, because the camaraderie in the locker room and outside it was perfect. We act like a family and die for each other on the field,\" said Popovi\u0107. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was the verdict?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The determination we showed, especially in the second half, was decisive. We knew that the pitch would be difficult due to the rain and that we would face a tough opponent. But we ignored all that. We came into the game strong, played with heart and won,\" added Popovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cadets will host the Swedish national team in Bar on Tuesday (3pm) in a match without any significant outcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
