“The Serbian national team showed an excellent result at the World Cup” – former coach of the Russian national team Grujic

Team Serbia performed very well at the World Championships, the team’s silver medals and outstanding performance at the tournament are a huge success, former Russian national team coach Sasha Gruich told .

On Sunday, the Serbian national team lost to the German team in the World Cup final with a score of 77:83.

“Yesterday, there was no one on the streets of our city: everyone was watching the World Cup final at home or in sports bars. Very large groups gathered in bars in front of televisions. The interest was simply enormous. We all worried about every episode of this match: every attack, every defense. Of course, the feelings are now twofold. Everyone I talk to notices that there’s kind of an aftertaste of the fact that he was just a little bit away from winning (at the World Championships). But there have of course been some personnel difficulties related to injuries. At the same time, money is a great result. It’s really cool what they did. And here it is necessary to take into account that many teams on the list were better “on paper”, but could not advance further. In general, there is not and cannot be a single negative comment. The guys are great and everyone supports the team unanimously.

It is worth noting that the German national team had a good attack throughout the championship, and they also had an excellent defense in the last match. I must say that they somehow managed to exclude some of our guys from the game. For example, Milutinov and Bogdanovich. The opponents were therefore a little better prepared for the final,” the Serbian specialist told the correspondent.

For Germany, this victory was the first in history at the world championships. The team’s best achievement so far was the bronze medal at the 2002 World Championships.
