Svetislav Pesic made a kind of cross-section of the preparations so far, considering that Serbia traveled to China.
There are only seven days left until the start of the FIBA World Cup. The national teams are slowly entering the final stage of preparations, and most have already traveled to Asia. One of them is Serbia, which arrived in China this morning, with whom it will meet on Sunday.
A day later, the match against Brazil is scheduled. Head coach Pesic pointed out that the goal is for this national team to prove itself to everyone, and that this is the main desire.
“We had successful preparations to create a team atmosphere, but a lot of things happened that disturbed us and we always look at what we can get out of it positively. There is little time, we are a completely new team, our main task was to try to create the best possible team chemistry, before during and after training.
The players have found each other, they have good communication and we are trying to help them, there is good cohesion among the staff and we also lack time. Playing together through preparations is not enough, the favorites have been playing together for years but we have other qualities, the desire to prove ourselves and we worked well.” – Svetislav Pesic said.
Serbia is in group B with China, South Sudan and Puero Rico.
