Servië's Nations League campaign off to a poor start

Servië has begun its Nations League campaign with a disappointing 2-0 loss to Germany, leaving the team without a point after previous defeats to Greece and the Netherlands.

Servië lost 2-0 to Germany on Thursday evening, making it the team's third consecutive defeat in the Nations League. This follows earlier losses to Greece (1-2) and the Netherlands (1-2).

Coach Veljko Paunovic expressed frustration with the criticism his team has faced, urging fans to be patient. "You can't learn by pressing a button," he said. "We're in a process where we're trying to bring players back to the national team, and some have already returned. We're adding new players and looking at the long-term process, which takes time. I can't give patience to those who don't have it."

Paunovic acknowledges that the team's results need to improve, but is determined to prevent his players from becoming mired in negativity. "If we keep going from one match to the next and constantly get caught up in negative emotions, we'll get nowhere," he said.

Despite the team's poor start, Paunovic sees positive signs within his squad. He points to the mental attitude of his players, saying, "Mental attitude is important. I'm proud of the young players. They're chasing the Germans, wanting to bite and show they're there. That's what I'm looking for, and I'll never allow it to be absent, or I'll get angry."

Servië will face the Netherlands in Eindhoven on Sunday, a match that offers the team a chance to break its negative streak.
