“I’m used to hard work, it was our priority. I think the progress is noticeable. The effectiveness will depend on the opponents as well on how we will enter every game. Meeting the Germans will be the toughest challenge in the group stage. They took the third place at the World Championship in Poland. We are not the favorites. France is probably the strongest team in the world, Serbia won the World League last year, Germany have Grozer, Poland play at home. Then, there are the other teams, including ours,” says Blengini.
