Dragan Stojković Pixi offered resignation to the leaders of the Serbian Football Association.
Piksi announced at the media conference and not going to Andorra.
Serbia is defeated by Albania to Leskovac to minim chances of being found at the World Cup.
When asked Does he resign, He said:
– Let me tell you, I have already done a conversation with the President and the Secretary General. I offered my resignation, of course. So, I did not expect this defeat with a team that is the main rival, I take responsibility, I am the only culprit. So, as far as that is concerned. Don’t worry, I’m sorry to lose the game. But … it’s so in sports and in life and in football, but it will be time to talk about other things. Someone like a responsible face, I’m sure I, I showed many times. I offered my resignation.
How is it possible to have success with the team, when the team changes from the match in the match and ask for the team to be the best when do players debut?
– Someone has to debut, we had problems around the composition. Many injuries. It is no alibi, I believe that these players have quality and have the future in terms of the national team. So … I say again, that’s my responsibility and there are no problems. Don’t criticize players, criticize me.
To clarify what Dzajic and Radujko told you?
– As for time, it’s specific. I don’t travel, I think it’s completely irrational to travel with the team. I said that, I said I wasn’t going to Andorra. The match will lead the first assistant Gorak Đorović. I guess they will say something on that issue, not now, but surely tomorrow. It’s all life, you don’t have to make a drama about it.
Responsibility on those who decided to play in Leskovac?
– The responsibility is mine, irrelevant where you played. The result ultimately reflects the situation on the ground, we failed to score, they are. Although we seem to be the first half, to say my opinion, we played correctly, we had great actions and we managed to create some chances. We couldn’t settle that the ball where it should, then came that cold shower before your vacation. The second half we tried everything I thought I should do. A lot of offensive players are inserted, there was no quality ball and that finish. Vlahovic had one, but … That ball went high. I didn’t expect personally. I have to accept the Dump defeat.
About guilt
– I’m guilty, I’m the biggest culprit and that’s my responsibility. I always led to that logic that you have to truth to look in the eye. I didn’t blame players, they tried, fought, ran … what we arranged, did, but obviously it wasn’t enough. I’m standing in defense, I’ve been here for four and a half years, I managed somehow and many beautiful moments we had, nice matches, we managed to make a nation happy. We disappointed the nation, I am ready to handle the consequences, without justice and I don’t know, ask for a Alibi. It’s just like that.
They didn’t get naked in Tirana, nor in Denmark, nor against England?
– Football is playing for goals, we try to create, to attack. Do we have better players? I don’t really know. This choice of players was mine, so … I believed that I could handle us in front of us in my favor, but obviously … or I made a mistake in the selection of players or I don’t know what it is. When I leave I will go proud. It was a privilege to be a selector of his country, long period, the period is behind. Since I became a selector, someone would analyze whether it was something worth it or not, was there good things. I think it is. It was not allowed to happen to lose the game.
Have you dropped control of the team?
– You have some stupid questions. But how do you think I lost control? Do you see in the field? He’s someone beaten, that’s really that … It’s not right for you to ask me something like that. You have a chance, ask the players whether they are satisfied with my behavior by leading and so on. If any of them, one says that what I said is not true, cancel everything that has been done in four and a half years. Like I didn’t exist and I wasn’t a selector.
I spoke to the players, I said what I had. Sorry I said it was stupid. You like to list my assets and so on. That’s not nice and it’s wrong. I’m here to submit the consequences and no problem. It is not a tragedy when the selector leaves, someone else will come. I will always be a Serbian fan, will always have support in me. I had a 120 percent control, it doesn’t ask the question, the first time I saw it or felt, I would go. That has never happened. Please ask that players really.
Did the decisions be yours for all this time, especially in the last period?
– One hundred percent.
It’s strange to have two debutants from the first minute?
– That’s my decision, to give them a chance. We had problems with the injuries of some players and players who don’t play, the gudelj was with us, he was not ready to play a game. But do you really think someone decides for me? It can be strange, but I stand behind all this four and a half years. Everything you saw, the selector made decisions. Was it good or bad, I made a mistake? I am probably, but there were good things. It can’t challenge it. I have the pleasure of leading Serbia, represented this match. Over 50 times I sang the anthem, watching my flag in front of me and it’s something that really big privilege. I brought decisions, without any pressure, without interfering with someone or something. That’s what I don’t work and I’ll never.
Why did Vasilija Kostova inserted, who did not play even for a young national team?
– There’s nothing to do, neither Jamal played, then play for a team. Why not? I didn’t have something too many options on the bench. He is a player who has offensive characteristics, what he played in the star, played in the League Nation, seemed impressive. That’s no longer a question of years, is he young, old. It’s just like that.
What if the leadership is resigned?
– He shouldn’t reject. I said that most likely I will not say 100 percent, but I will not travel 99 in Andorra in this ambience. For a longer period, if I can say, I have been feeling bad for a long time.
Open your soul at the end?
– The whole ambience is the odd one. Enough strange. My nicknames are told, although I don’t deal with other things except football, people give themselves the right to insult you, to make inappropriate words. I don’t think I deserve it, but this one … one ambiance that is not good. I endured as much as I could, but this is the defeat that goes to my soul and my fault. I bear the consequences and responsibility. It’s not nice to give resignation to the media, to offer someone. The institution must be respected, I called them and I told my decision. My thinking and so on.
– Just to say, there’s no wicked blood or need someone’s head to tear to spit, insult. This is happening. You have ups, you have downs. I’m sorry to lose the game and what that three points took us to that bar. Although there is still a theoretical chance with the victory in Andorra, we are at a point with them. Everything is possible to happen. I think that on my part, there is a completely one decision in place, without any pressure or everything that can happen. Hot head, I’m very sober, I’m very concentrated and watching what I’m saying. That’s what it’s in principle.
