Lovćen : Metalurg 23:29
Statements coach
Kasim Kamenica, coach Lovcen: We tried to play against strongest Metalurg and we did it in quite good way, but later, during the match we weren't able to compete against team with better quality on the court and bench as well.
In preparation period we didn't play against such strong opponents, so we will have very tough and painful way in increasing of quality of play through SEHA and European matches.
We played about 10 minutes equal with Metalurg and I really see that quality of playing increase, so we are working well and in good way.
Lino Cervar, coach Metalurg: after very difficult and long travel to Podgorica, we played good match. We were better from the beginning till the end. Lovcen tried to compete with us, but until the end of the first half we had quite decisive goal difference thanks to agility, experience and aggressiveness of my team.
Now, we are facing new very important match, first in new season of Champions league. Hope that from our first match in Switzerland we will be able to start new European season with victory. This match was very good preparation for very strong Champions league.
Why Stanić didn't arrive to Montenegro for this match?
Stanic had problem with his back, so he missed this match but I hope that he will be ready for next weekend's match.
