Serbia has already in the pocket the silver medal, but they are ready to challenge USA. Just after the win over Australia coach Aleksander Djordjevic challenged his players to do the unthinkable in the final.
“There are two ways to play the game against USA, just go out and play the game or go out and play to win”, he said and added: “They must chose what they want to do”.
It was an emotional win for the Serbs with Bogdan Bodganovic breaking down in tears after the game. “There are tears of joy. We all endured during the tournament and we were waiting for this game”, explained the coach who was proud of the way his team played against Australia: “We had 23 assists. I am proud of my team, the coaches, every one involved and supporting us. We feel that this is a beautiful medal, one or the other, we will see. We believe in these guys, the core of the team during the past three years is testament to the quality we have. Facing teams like Australia, USA, France, Croatia, Lithuania and Spain”.
