Tatran favorite against Partizan
Tatran apsolutni favorit protiv Partizana
After national team break HC Tatran
Presov and HC Partizan will meet at SEHA GAZPROM SSL Round 9 on Friday at
18hrs:
- After a successful match in Skopje against Metalurg we believe we could
confirm our winning streak, however as I said before, there is no weak team in SEHA
Gazprom South Stream League and we can not underestimate Partizan. We know it
will not be easy to win this match. On one hand we will have our fans and on
the other we have to do what we always do: be concentrated in defense and run
back and forward all the game - said Tatran’s coach Peter Hatalcik, who can’t
count on injured Andrej Petro, who will miss the next few months of the season.
- We have been preparing for this game very
responsibly. We believe that with our improving defense and help from
our fans we will make a nice playing atmosphere and hopefully win this match -
said line player Damian Krzysztofik.
Serbian vice-champion RK Partizan have nothing to lose against the clear favorite in Slovakia.
- Tatran has showed maybe the best form in the previous part of the season at SEHA GAZPROM SSL. This will be one of the toughest away matches for us. We will use this chance for gaining experience before the further matches - said Partizan’s coach Aleksandar Brković.
Youngster, playmaker Igor Mršulja doesn’t raise "white flag" before the trip to Presov:
- We have a lot of problems with injuries after we’ve stayed without Aleksandar Radovanovic, goalkeeper Radivoje Ristanovic and right back Nikola Potic, but that won’t prevent us from being motivated for this clash. I hope that some new players in our team will help us in this match - said Mršulja.
