Former Serbian coach Milovan Gjoric has cast doubt on the way Serbia lost to Albania in Leskovac. In an interview with local media, he hinted that he suspects the team did not give its best in the defeat against the Rossoneri.
“ I was in Leskovac, I watched the match… It’s been a few days, but I’m still sick of it. I have a bad taste in my mouth. I don’t know what to say, a strange match, in a strange atmosphere… I feel bad… Our players entered the field against Albania without much emotion. It was obvious from the beginning. Why? I don’t know. They made unbelievable mistakes.
"I like Milosavljevic a lot, he's a gem. He made a mistake in the first minute and never got out of the deadlock. During the 90 minutes, things that weren't football happened. When the whole team... It's like the match against Panathinaikos in Athens, as if they had copied it ," he said.
Asked later if anything had happened to the Serbian players, as in the case where they claim to have been deliberately poisoned in the Athens event in 1971, Djorić alludes to something else.
" No, they definitely didn't poison them, but it was like something had happened. There was a bad feeling. A strange match. They could do a lot more... It was the whole team, the whole team stopped. It's not a problem when one or two players stop, but the whole team. That's how days like this come in football... And it happened at the most important and most difficult moment. I wouldn't say that our players didn't want to... It started badly and ended badly. Victory was expected, but they were afraid of a negative result. They weren't confident in themselves and what happened, happened.
"Dušan Vlahović missed the 100th chance, in the first half he took the ball out. Mitrović fought, but did not create any chances. There was no midfield, the importance of the match had an effect on the young players like Stanković and Samardžić. The whole team played below the level ," said the former coach, who in his career also managed Yugoslavia.
