« We’ve been doing a good job – said Serbian coach Boban Kovac as the team is in its third week of pre-season training – The physical aspect has been extremely intense, we wanted to be ready for the work we’re about to begin in the gym ». He also spent a few words on the Olympic Games : « Italy had an amazing run, they took the silver medal and not many would have bet on them to do it. All our players did well in the Olympic Games, I expect them to come in motivated ».
