On Saturday night (06/09) the Serbia It was painful exclusion from the continuation of Eurobasket 2025, with “Rlovi” losing with score 92-86 from Finland And stay out of the quarter -finals, at a time when they were given as No.1 Gold Medal favorites!
Serbia’s national team departed from Riga to Belgrade this afternoon with the country’s federal technician, Svetislav Pesic, clarifying that he doesn’t think about resignation And how he feels responsible and duty to his players, at a time when no one else in previous years wanted to sit on the “electrified” Serbian bench!
In detail what he said:
“I never give up. Why give up? I came here to do what I did and did it when no one wanted, I accepted it. And here after the Olympics, no one wanted to take over, I accepted it because I felt a responsibility for the players. We have this agreement by the end of September. We will sit, we will talk, I am always here, I am available for any kind of help. Resignations … This is not football, this is basketball, the resignations are not given. ”
As after the race, nothing has changed. We talked to the players, I had a conversation. I told them that when you win, the social messages on the social you receive are one of the most beloved faces from the family and the fans, but when you lose, they remain friends and no one can disrupt all we have done. I told them that they must be proud of what happened these two, three years. We are sad and we wanted a little more than what we did. Playing for the Serbian national team is not easy, there are high expectations, but on the other hand, this pressure makes you work even harder and that playing in the national team should always be perceived as a new challenge.
Nothing is over. First, these high expectations are nothing new to Serbia. These expectations are placed outside our team, I was talking about the event system, a game determines your fate. This probably doesn’t matter to you journalists, Turkey has passed, France lost, unfortunately we lost, in a game everything is possible. To get fate in our hands, we must be healthy. We were not physically ready, we were exhausted against Turkey. Finland used it to the fullest and punished us with great game, I don’t want to reduce their victory.
Now we will sit with people in the Federation and see in what direction we are going to go. “
