I really do not understand Adzic. Why 4 left wings and why so many young players?? Where is Right Back JASNA TOSKOVIC (from Roman, Romania) and Pivot SARA VUKCEVIC(from VAC, Hungary)?

Where is Joka?

What is happening to Sonja Barjaktarović?

I think our coaches can learn from Adzic who isn't afraid to let go of the players who will never become top performers.

In 2010, he tried Jelena Markovic & Sandra Nikcevic.
In 2011, Bozovic & Toskovic.

He simply sees more potential in the younger generation. He may be wrong, but in theory his strategy is correct: trying out all these players. It is this strategy that has helped built his current team based on the 2011 Junior World Bronze medalists.

Secondly, the physical preparation of Roman & Erd is nowhere near that of Buducnost.

Exactly... Simply these players are not right ones for his strategy.
Tošković doesn't play in defence, so he doesn't have another substitution for her in def. Vukčević will be on the wide list for WCh for sure, but he wants to try junior pivots against easier opponents.
I am happy that Grbić is in team, as she showed an amazing performance in Valencia. Hope she'll be used as playmaker because Ivona Pavićević is a great prospect too.
Joka is probably coming back for injury, so she is not needed to risk and play unfit.
Sonja didn't find the club, clear reason.

[Veselin_MNE]

Sara Vukcevic is great player,I really don't know why he didn't invite her.Jasna Toskovic is great shooter,she playes very good in Romania,but she doesn't playes in difence,beacuse of that he didn't invite her.Sonja will rest this season,next season she will find a club.

She will rest in the pre-olympic season?!?!?

[John]

I like the players Adzic called. He needs to incorporate younger players in his system. In a few years Jaukovic & co. will be the starters. And it's about time he gets rid of players that don't contribute. By that i mean Jovanovic, ever since she left Buducnost she playes one good match (i said good not excellent) and 50 terrible matches for NT. Andjela should be used in defence.
I would force Jaukovic on LB, Grbic on PM , maybe not in the same time, but why not.. Katarina is not a young girl anymore, so we badly need Malovic to recover as fast as she can and take her place in the coming years. These are also future Buducnost starters.
About Sonja, it's still strange to me that she didn't find a club or that people from Buducnost didn't help her find a club like they did with Rostov.
