It’s time for SEHA League’s biggest derby as Veszprem host Vardar!
A SEHA Liga legnagyobb derbijére kerül sor, a Veszprém a Vardart fogadja
It is time for the biggest derby in SEHA Gazprom League between last year finalists Telekom Vesprem and Vardar Skopje. Two great teams will clash on Tuesday (18.00 CET) in Veszprem Arena having two opposite moods at the moment. Veszprem have lately taken a self-confidence booster after a 36:27 SEHA win against Gorenje and 29:24 CL away win against Silkeborg and on the other side Vardarhave for the first time this season lost two in a row - against RN Löwen (26:29) and Kielce (24:27).
Xavi Sabate, Telekom Veszprem coach:
Tomorrow we will have a
very tough match. We’ll do everything to finish the regular part of the season
on top spot. However, our guests are having an amazing season playing very well
and being on top in SEHA League. We know each other very well because we’ve
played against each other a lot of times, especially in the last season. They
are now in a very good form, have big confidence, great players and a very good
coach. I hope our fans will come and support us as always despite of the fact
it is Tuesday especially because of our charity action for kids.
Péter Gulyas, Telekom Veszprem player:
Both teams have had a
hard match to play last weekend. I think we must take revenge against Vardar
for the loss in Skopje and continue with good form we’re showing in home games.
We work very hard in order to improve and hopefully you will see results
tomorrow. We hope to play a good game against Vardar. We’d also like to ask everybody
to help the children through our charity action tomorrow. We will do everything
on the court in order to have our fans feel best they can after the match.
Raúl Gonzalez, Vardar Skopje coach:
I expect a very good
match and that surely is something we all can expect from the battle for the
first position. We would like to gather three points, but we know it will be a
very hard match here, in Veszprem, in such a great atmosphere. Veszprem have
great players and a great coach who is doing a very good job there. We are
anxious for the match to start because we always have great matches against
Veszprem. They have strong defense and play fast with our style being more
-less the same. I hope we can play hard and strong tomorrow.
Igor Karacic, Vardar Skopje player:
It will be a tough and
attractive game between two very good teams. It is always an inspiration to
play against such an opponent. However, we are going to give our best and try
to win. We are first placed and we will play to defend our position. We have an
impressive run in SEHA Gazprom League and we want to make it last.
