A lot of ink was spilled and a lot of sentences were said and written because of the alleged conflict between Dagur Sigurdsson and Luka Cindrić, writes Tportal.
The story went so far that it was even speculated that it was Cindrić refused to play when he heard that the match with Egypt was going to start Igor Karačić. He also spoke about this problem Mirza Djomba who emphasized in the RT_om studio before Egypt that in such situations there should be no jumping out and no ego.
He also gave his comment on the ‘Cindrić case’ Lino Cervar in an interview with Net.hr.
Now I’m going to reveal something to you like this in front of everyone, in front of the entire public. Because of that disagreement, I resigned as coach of the Croatian national handball team in Egypt in 2021, and that only after the last silver medal we won at the European Championship in Stockholm before that, which was also the last medal for Croatian handball. Just for that.
Individually, I wanted to stretch someone, and I believe that this should not happen in the team because in the team everyone must row in the same direction. No one asked why I left then. Precisely because of the above, because of disagreements in the Croatian national team, and I always fought for my views and for the result.
For me, that’s what I’ve always sought, the team is the best player. Without a team, a team, a community, a team, not a single player, no matter how good he is, no matter what his name is, no matter how good he is, there will be no results, said Cervar and continued:
I would not go into detail because I don’t want fights and arguments in the media, I don’t want to disrupt the peace and cohesion of the Croatian national team before important matches at the World Cup, these guys are good and they need peace. As I said, they must now have focus and concentration on what comes next, because time is not our ally. I’ll just say it – always, no matter what the best player, in synergy with the other 15 players surely he can do more than play alone.
Team, unityall for one, one for all. That wins and wins medals at major competitions. When the team is one unity, then there is that unity that no one can break, regardless of the fact that we are all different as people, with different characters, regardless of the ego, it must be united. Without that, we don’t have the power of the team, and then we don’t have the results. This is very important to understand. It is the coach who decides, not the offices, the street. Coach is the number one system, he decides and bears the responsibility, without that there is nothing, said Cervar.
