CO Zagreb has celebrated their last home
match in SEHA GSS league’s regular part of the season with a win against
Vojvodina 40:29 (22:14) in Osijek. Coach Dvorsek’s players have easily and
convincingly beaten their rivals who were in a good form before this match. Zagreb
is now back on top after Tatran’s win in Banja Luka.
Serbian champions were holding on great
in the first 10 minutes and no one could say that the match might end this way.
In the end of the second half Zagreb has managed, mostly due to Josip Valcic’s
series and some great saves by Ivan Stevanovic, to enlarge the goal gap. It was
17:9 in 24th minute of the match. Serbian defense did not exist in
these moments and that was, also in the second half, the biggest enigma for
Djordje Cirkovic and his boys.
Horvat and Brozovic have managed to get
the ball behind Vojvodina’s goalkeeper’s back 6 times and Stevanovic had 15
saves. Elezovic and Todorovic have, on the other side, score 5 both for
Vojvodina.
Djordje Cirkovic,
Vojvodina's coach
- I’d like to congratulate Zagreb. It
was a well deserved victory. I have a feeling that I have to apologize to
spectators for our today’s performance. We weren’t training in the last two
weeks due to a rough schedule and it has in my opinion decided the match. It’s
not an alibi, it is a fact. We now must prepare for our national championship
and defend our title.
Nikola Arsenic,
Vojvodina's player:
- CO Zagreb has controlled the match
from the beginning until the end. We’ve showed our current maximum but it today
was not enough to beat Croatian champions.
Boris Dvorsek,
CO Zagreb's coach:
-
I am very satisfied with my team. From the start until the end we were focused.
Vojvodina was unable to follow our rhytm. We’ve praciteced a lot and prepared
for the match. I am also happy due to the fact that we’ve given all players a
chance to play today.
Luka
Sebetic,
CO Zagreb’s right back:
-
I wish Vojvodina best of luck in their national championship. We were playing
very well and I hope audience is satisfied. I am also satisfied with my today’s
performance. I was playing for more than 20 minutes and it makes me happy.
Rukometaši C.O Zagreba upisali su
pobjedu na oproštaju od domaće publike protiv novosadske Vojvodine 40:29
(22:14) u Osijeku. Izabranici trenera Borisa Dvoršeka, lako i ubedljivo,
savladali su Novosađane. Srpski šampion se držao u egalu (7:6), da bi do prve
osjetnije prednosti, C.O Zagreb došao serijom 4:0 koju je predvodio Josip Valčić
(11:6). Razigrali su se Zagrepčani, razbranio Stevanović, pa je hrvatski
šampion došao i do ubjedljivih 17:9 u 24. minutu. Odbrana Novosađana kao da
nije ni postojala, do poluvremena su primili 22 gola, ali ni u nastavku meča,
Đorđe Ćirković nije uspio da nađe način da zaustavi egzekuciju domaćih igrača.
Najubjedljiviju prednost, Zagreb je imao u 42. minutu - 30:18. Najefikasniji
kod pobjednika bili su Horvat i Brozović sa po 6 golova, dok je Stevanović
sakupio 15 obrana. Kod poraženih Elezović i Todorović su bili po pet puta
precizni.
Đorđe Ćirković trener Vojvodine:
-
Čestitam Zagrebu, čija je uvjerljiva pobjeda i više nego li zaslužena. Imam
osjećaj kako se moram ispričati publici. Ali, imamo i neke objektivne razloge
ovako lošoj našoj utakmici. Posljednja dva tjedna ne treniramo normalo. Imamo
dosta ozljeda i vrlo uzak roster. I to nije alibi nego činjenica. Zato, moramo
se dobro pripremiti za naše nacionalno prvenstvo gdje moramo i želimo obraniti
titulu prvaka.
Nikola Arsenić,
igrač Vojvodine:
-
Također želim čestitati Zagrebu. Od početka do kraja kontrolirali su utakmicu.
Mi smo u ovom trenutku pokazali maksimum što očito nije dovoljno za
suprostavljanje momčadi kao što je Zagreb.
Boris Dvoršek trener CO Zagreba:
-
Vojvodina je odigrala vrlo korektnu utakmicu. Ja sam zadovoljan s mojom
momčadi. Od početka do kraja igrali smo vrlo koncentrirano. Zadovoljan sam i s
količinom trke. Vojvodina takav ritam i toliku količinu trke nije mogla
pratiti. Također, vježbali smo neke situacije, kao što su dva protiv dva, tri
protiv tri, četiri protiv tri...Uspjeli smo i sačuvati neke igrače poput
Tončija Valčića ili Stepančića, a nekima drugima dali smo veću priliku.
Luka Šebetić, desni vanjski CO Zagreb:
- Želim Vojvodini puno uspjeha u
njihovom nacionalnom prvenstvu. Odigrali smo vrlo dobru utakmicu i vjerujem
kako je publika zadovoljna. Mogu biti zadovoljan i mojom partijom. Odigrao sam
u kontinuitetu više od 20 minuta, pa mogu biti zadovoljan s načinom na koji sam
iskoristio pruženu priliku.
