After a 4-1 defeat by Armenia on June 7 in Yerevan, Montenegro U21 coach Dusan Vlaisavljevic admitted that the hosts were much stronger than his men.

“I don't criticize my team. A long way from Andorra to Armenia took us day and a half and they got tired. They were too slow and the substitution did not help,” he told journalists after the UEFA EURO U21 2013 qualifier.

The coach said the team spirit cracked after the first goal scored by Armenians. “I used to think Czechs to be our major rivals in the qualifying period but now I must admit that Armenians can give a surprise,” he said.
