Veszprem hope to step up their game as Izvidjac Ljubuski come to visit
A Veszprém otthonába látogat az Izvidjac Ljubuski
Telekom Veszprem have, with a 33:21 win over Metalurg, managed to stay in the race for top position after the regular part of SEHA Gazprom League’s season. They will however less than a day later in a back-to-back match play Izvidjac Ljubuski. Match is scheduled for Sunday (19.15), reigning champions are clear favorites and will surely look to make fans happy one more time in just two days. This will however still not be their final home match as they will on 13th of February play Tatran to close the SEHA season in Veszprem Arena.
Xavi
Sabate, Telekom Veszprem coach:
We are going to play our second game
within 24 hours. We would like to keep on working with our young players, give
them chance to play in this one as well and improve. I hope fans will once
again be here with us.
Laszló
Nagy, Telekom Veszprem player:
I guess this game on Sunday will be
good for both teams. Ljubuski will play against a CL team and we’ll on the
other side have another home match in which we’ll be able to work on aspects of
the game we still have to improve in. Big challenges are waiting for us so we will
surely use this chance to make everything function better.
Zdenko Grbavac, Izvidjac
Ljubuski coach:
We are going to Hungary to play a fair game. However, talking
about a positive result against Veszprem would be insane. The aim is to
play a good match as we’ve played in Ljubuski against the same opponent where
we were able to keep close for 45 minutes. We’re not feeling any pressure ahead
of this one because result is not a priority.
Marko Ivankovic, Izvidjac Ljubuski
goalkeeper:
Coach said everything - we are going to Hungary without many
winning ambitions and I think we will
play a good match because we do not have result burden on our shoulders. We
will fight, give our best and I believe deliver a good all-around performance.
