The head coach of the football team of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sergej Barbarez, believes that the point against home team Canada at the opening of the World Cup is “satisfying” and praised one player in particular.
Bosnia and Herzegovina drew with Canada 1:1 in Toronto. BiH took the lead with a goal Jove Lukic in the 21st minute, but Canada avoided defeat in the 79th minute with a goal from the bench player in this match by Clye Larin.
There is always regret for victory. You have to be realistic, we were also a little lucky. I think that in the end 1:1 was deserved. For us, this is a good point in the fight for the passage of the group, which is the most important goalBarbarez said after the game.
Who is Jovo Lukić? He was born in Serbia, chose Bosnia and Herzegovina and scored against the hosts of the WC
We know what the scale can look like. After the first game, we are not here to count. We should try to win the next two games, added Barbarez, who also commented on the game of the scorer of the only goal for BiH.
Each guy has his task and that’s why they are there. It’s nice when someone gives you back on the field. A goal is a goal, of course we’re happy because he’s a striker and lives on that, said Barbarez.
After that, the statement was made by Jovo Lukić himself.
If I had imagined it, I couldn’t have wished better — that my first goal would be at the World Cup. I’m sorry we didn’t win. I would have preferred if we had celebrated without me scoring. Surely a point opens the way for us to move on, but if we don’t approach every game like this one, with maximum fight for every ballthat’s the only way we can move on. I want to thank the fans. I have no words to describe this, Lukic said.
