Everything is ready for the hardest group of the qualifying round of
Futsal Euro - Croatia 2012. Rotterdam will host three top nations like Netherlands, Russia and Serbia, as well as the emerging Finland which registered a notable improvement in recent time.
Serbia is aiming high, trying to confirm their status and level showed since Portugal '07, and head coach
Aca Kovacevic, counting on the Ekonomac + Marbo blocks, with Marko Peric completing the roster, feels no fear before challenging futsal powers like the dutch host and the russian side.
"I expect win in both games against Netherlands and Finland. We are favorites, but it won't be easy. Russia is favorite in the game against us, but we will do anything that we can in attempt to repeat success from last EC, when we beat our big rivals by 4-3".
