Vucinic: Approach Was Excellent but We Lost

Montenegro national football team head coach Mirko Vučinić reviewed the results of the match against Croatia. The final game of the World Cup qualifying stage ended with a 3-2 victory for Croatia.

In the first 17 minutes of the game, Montenegro was leading 2-0. "I think we played very well, which boosted our confidence in ourselves.

We showed that we can play against strong teams. Our approach was excellent, but we lost.

The only problem was the interruptions that occurred during the game; we need to prevent such situations. If we don't give 100% effort or if someone stops running, the result will be poor!

We need to work very hard, and I told the players that small details matter a lot," Vučinić said in an interview with the publication Sportklub. Montenegro finished the qualifying stage in fourth place with 9 points.

They were above Gibraltar (0 points) but behind the Faroe Islands with 12 points, the Czech Republic with 16 points, and Croatia with 22 points. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
