Montenegrin champions have in
their third SEHA season managed to catch only ninth spot at the end of the
regular part of the season. Team from Cetinje surely had bigger ambitions
speaking of their first two seasons after which they were sixth with 36 and 29
points. This year they were good enough for only 11. Twice better than Borac,
once than Partizan and draws in Skopje with Metalurg and in Osijek against
NEXE.
There were simply too many
problems for situation to develop in a different way. The main problem were
finances because of which the whole last year's roster has fallen apart at the
beginning of the season. Kasim Kamenica was on the bench at the start, after
him Zeljko Petricevic and in the end Zoran Abramovic. With all these changes
there was no true work and discipline which is visible on results. Sure thing
is that Lovcen can as only Montenegrin representative do more but the question
is if what they are doing to achieve it is enough.
By all problems coach Zoran
Abramovic has managed to raise young team's form in the end but it was not
enough for a better place. Only 4 players have played all 18 matches this
season - goalkeeper Vladan Abramovic, left winger Milan Popovic who was with 62
goals team's first scorerdue to captain Igor Markovic' injury. Abramovic has
given Popovic all his trust and he used it in a best possible way.
Young right winger Mirko
Radovic has also shown potential, just like 21 year old pivot Stefan Cizmovic.
Youngster Vuko Borilovic was also outstanding in some matches bringing rare joy
to the team from Cetinje. With 16 matches behind him, he has proved
perspective. These young men are a reason for optimism in Cetinje. In case the
manage to keep them, of course.
Team's TOP scorer, without
7-meter shots with 55 goals was Marko Draskovic, one of experienced players in
their roster.
Season to forget for sure and
to see in future if Lovcen can get back on where they were before.
Crnogorski prvak u svojoj
trećoj SEHA sezoni ostvario je plasman na pretposljednje mjesto. Više se
očekivalo od Cetinjana koji su u prve dvije sezone bili na solidnim šestim
mjestima, u prvoj ostvarivši 36, a u drugoj 29 bodova. Sada su upisali tek 11,
dvaput svladavši Borac, jednom Partizan, te osvojivši po bod u Skoplju s
Metalurgom i u Osijeku s NEXE-om.
Bilo je previše problema da
bi bilo drugačije. Naravno, u centru svih problema bile su financije. Zbog njih
se uoči strata osula lanjska momčad, pa su zbog nedovršene dvorane igrali na
startu u Podgorici. Na početku sezone ih je vodio Kasim Kamenica, onda je on
otišao, pa je tim preuzeo Željko Petričević, da bi priču dovršio Zoran
Abramović i sasvim drugačija uprava u odnosu an start sezone. U svim tim problemima
nije moglo biti kontinuiranog rada i kvalitete i to se osjetilo na rezultatu.
Sigurno je da Lovćen kao jedini crnogorski predstavnik može više, no to je
stvar odluke onih koji ulažu.
Uz sve probleme Zoran
Abramović je na trenutke pomlađeni tim uspio dovesti do zavidne forme, no u
konačnici je to bilo dosta samo za deveto mjesto.
Četiri igrača odigrala su
svih 18 utakmica u sezoni - vratar Vladan Abramović, lijevo krilo Milan Popović
koji je sa 62 gola bio prvi strijelac momčadi ove sezone u trenutku dok je
ozlijeđen bio kapetan Igor Marković koji je uspio odigrati samo 11 utakmica. S
povjerenjem trenera Abramovića Popović je izvodio sedmerce, te zamijenio
kapetana Markovića na kompletan, najbolji mogući način.
Nametnuo se na desnom krilu
mladi Mirko Radović, ali i 21-godišnji Stefan Čizmović na crti. U toj priči o
mladima možda je najviše pokazao vratar Vuko Borilović koji je u nekoliko
izvanrednih utakmica donosio rijetka veselja Cetinjanima. Sa 16 utakmica u
prvoj svojoj sezoni nametnuo se kao velika perspektiva. Svi ti mladići su u prvom redu razlog za
optimizam Cetinjana u godinama koje dolaze, uspiju li ih zadržati, naravno.
Prvi strijelac momčadi 'iz
igre' sa 15 odigranih utakmica i 55 postignutih golova bio je Marko Drašković,
jedan od najiskusniji u iznimno mladom sastavu Cetinjana.
Sve u svemu sezona za zaborav
i nakon nje za odluke može li se Lovćen vratiti na stare staze.
