Serbia head coach Dusan Ivkovic "Fully deserved win for Montenegro, which was the most surprising team in whole qualification. I take this opportunity to once again congratulate the players and the coaching staff of Montenegro on a very good game. We need to draw many lessons from this defeat and the eventual final three games of which two we are playing at home." Montenegro head coach Luka Pavicevic "I congratulate my players and this victory crowned everything we have been doing this summer. This was another tough match, similar to that in the first round. The support we've had in 'Moraca' largely helped us to overcome a bad start and without fans, in a game against a team like Serbia, it is unlikely to be able to make a quality return. We found a solution on offenseand we had certain individuals, as in every match, they felt that they could take the initiative and team spirit that we were adorned in whole qualifications deserved we came to victory in important match." Serbia player Ivan Paunic "I'd congratulate the team of Montenegro on the deserved victory. We knew that we are in a very tough match in Podgorica. Montenegro is unbeaten in the current qualifications, played on the home court, and in the end it may be a decisive rebound." Montenegro player Sead Sehovic "Great win for us after the victory over Serbia in Belgrade, we came in the final seconds. Again, we have shown that we can deal with one of the best teams in Europe. With a fantastic atmosphere, we have shown a great game except at the start of the match, when we had less than 13 points. We are back on the right way, we have come to an important victory that will help us to compete in the EuroBasket. In this game, the better team won." |
