Croatia Osiguranje this season open "new page", using just domestic players, giving chance to youngsters, and hope to repeat success from last season, to retain trophy in SEHA league. Club played twice in Final Four so far.
Coach Boris Dvorsec made huge surprise beat Vardar in Final Four in Skopje. Now he continues his vision for new Zagreb.

For the first time Zagreb has a "local" team. Does this mean that the club turns a new page and more attention will get young kids who came to be in the first squad?
- Yes, after a long time Zagreb has the complete "home" team, just from domestic players. We have excellent handball school at the club and we decided to give a chance to players from our plant. Also, Croatia continually wins medals at World and European Championships for juniors and cadets, which is the product of many years of one work, from which came out a lot of young players, great talent, and we are led by the best young players like Mandalinic, Caleb Coric , Susnje, Obranovic, and we agreed to team as a combination of these perspective young players and experienced players like brothers Valcic, Horvat, Stevanovic, Brozovic,  and to add players from our school. I'm sure the result will come quickly because we are all that hard work, and discipline must be restored.

 * What is a "new force" of at what would club be different from previous seasons?
- Surely we will play better and faster than last season. Our main advantages will be aggressive defense, where we look for a lot of contact, interrupts, and speed in all aspects of the game. We have a young team that can certainly be running a lot, keep a high pace throughout the match, for which we have the required width in all positions. We will fight and we will always be incredibly motivated.  And as our major asset will be a great atmosphere and a community within a team.

* You played a matches in Germany and then in France. When will be Zagreb in "top form" and what you have charted for success in the new season?
- Our plan is that Zagreb is in top form for September 21, when the Champions League start, when we are waiting for the first round and the match home with Celje. The schedule is such that we have to be full ready from the very beginning and try to catch as many points in the first three rounds. The goal of the new season is to be a Croatian champion, as well as the winner of the Cup, in SEHA League to reach the Final Four, but the biggest motivation for our is Champions League where the goal is to pass the group and into the best 16.

* As a current winner of SEHA League will now be harder to hold the trophy. Everybody's looking at you as a favorite. How do you feel the new season?
- We are aware that the defending champion trophy, but also the fact that the league became more and more strength, year after year, and getting better and better this season, certainly the strongest to date and that there are more favorite to win.
That's why we have not set ourselves any imperative, except placement in the Final Four tournament, and then there's all possible. You saw last season, when we arrived in Skopje as outsiders, and eventually won the title. We do not worry about defending the title; we just want to play every day all the better. Normally that would be a great thing to defend his title. Let's go step by step. 

* What are the goals of the team for the upcoming season?
One of our main tasks is to promote young players, their great gaming progress and progress in all aspects of professionalism.

 * How has helped these SEHA League to young players to mature and gain experience?
- SEHA League is a great thing for our young team, perfect for what we want and that is the progress of individuals and teams. The league gives us a lot of good and difficult games, through which we grew and grow, and experience we gained through this game is very much helps in the Champions League.

* Main favorite for SEHA title this season?
If we look in the names, than Vardar is clear favorite, but also have to pay attention to Metalurg, Meshkov, Tatran and Zagreb, naturally.
