Serbian head coach Sasha Djordjevic did not sugarcoat when asked about his opinion on the Philippine national team after cruising with a 126-67 in the 2019 FIBA World Cup.
“What can I say, a tough loss is a tough loss. It depends on how you are going to react,” Djordjevic said. “We respect each and every player and we play the hardest we can. I think you showed some talent and quickness, but obviously you’re lacking quality.”
After both Serbia and Italy humiliated Gilas Pilipinas in back to back encounters to open the group stages of the 2019 FIBA World Cup, head coach Yeng Guiao pointed out the difference in competing in the Asian level and the international level.
Gilas Pilipinas lost to Serbia by 59 points in their 2nd game in the 2019 FIBA World Cup in Foshan, China. CJ Perez with 16 points while Paul Lee scored 15 for Philippines.
