About Linnea Tosrenson’s red card
” It”s hard to say, because Linnea was mayble a bit late on that phase and she was though, but maybe it was a move for a two minutes suspension. Anyway without watching the video I cannot evaluate it correctly.

Dragan Adzic,headcoach – Montenegro
“I am proud of my team, and this fourth places brings us much closer to the Olympic Games in Rio. At the next tournament we will be better.”
