In this team, there are not many players from the Slovenian Olympic team from Paris. I think this week is the right time for this change of generations. When, if not now? Lithuania and Estonia are tailormade competitors — they are not listed at the top of the world rankings but everyone needs to be respected. Today, everyone plays handball, and if you are not focused, you can quickly have problems.

We played against Belgium the last qualification so we can say we know their team pretty well. We have to take this game really seriously. Belgium are a really good team, but we have to focus mostly on ourselves. Fix things that need fixing, and I think we will finish this week successfully.

We know that Israel is a dangerous rival. Israel have several players with experience from the German or French leagues. You have to watch out for the very good central playmaker Yoav Lumbroso, who usually plays in the Champions League for Dinamo Bucharest. We know that we have to focus as much as possible and prepare as best as possible to win this match.
