At the press conference, he spoke about Serbia’s lost final to Germany Alexa Abramovich.
Among other things, he talked about the absences of the “plavi”, but also focused on the fact that they made their country smile. At the same time, he added that they missed the equalizing shot, while also referring to the great basketball played by Germany.
In detail what he said:
“Our success was great, we have our heads held high. The next goal is to have even greater successes. Germany plays great basketball, they play for many years with the same roster, they have dynamism that decided the match. We had the shot to equalize, we missed. We had problems with our friend Borisa Simanic, we lost Dobrich, you all know how important he is to our team. Milutinov was also injured, everyone had some problem.
We know we made our country happy, we made them smile. I am proud. We fought their aggression, but I don’t know, you saw it all. I don’t want to blame the referees. Congratulations to them too. They too lived their dream. Germany played with more dynamism in the third quarter, we came back, we had our chances. That’s basketball, someone goes home with the silver medal, someone with the gold medal. We are already looking at the Olympics and this is the best.
You saw how competitive the tournament was, you saw the USA. We did the best we could. Thanks to the coach who helped us reach the final. We had great people to share the dressing room with and I’m not just talking about the players. We were family. Next year we will have a better chance. Australia lost one match and was eliminated. Many good countries did not play in the quarter finals. We did it and I’m extremely proud.”
