High requirements! Serbian coach: This game is not the appearance our national team should have

Hupu August 30th, the 2025 Men's Basketball European Championship group stage, Serbia's match against Portugal has ended, and Serbia finally defeated Portugal 80-69.

After the game, Serbian coach Pesic still criticized the team's performance:

"Everyone saw the game. Without enough concentration, it is impossible to implement our tactics.

Tonight we were not ready for various reasons - perhaps because we talked too much about the next game against Latvia. Hopefully this is the last time we have such a performance tonight. This is not the appearance of the Serbian national team. We don't need to win all the games, but the competitive level tonight is completely opposite to the first match of Estonia. Obviously, the outside world has high expectations for us, but it is important that we understand that it is impossible to always maintain the best form of a warm-up match or official match. "
