SEHA GSS League’s title holders Vardar
Skopje have started the League with a win over Vojvodina in Novi Sad, 26:21
(10:12). Vojvodina has once again proved that there are no weak rivals in SEHA
GSS League leading at the end of the first half with 12:10. Macedonian team has
opened the match in a better way (Dibirov scored for 6:1) than the home team
but they have obviously underestimated their rivals in the second part of the
first half. Serbian team has on the other side had nothing to lose which has in
24th minute brought them positive result with Todorović and
Datukashvili scoring for 9:7.
Georgian left back Sergo Datukashvili
has scored the first goal in the second half for the highest advantage of home
team - 13:10, but that was a sign for Vardar’s players to change their approach
to this game. Macedonian defense began
to play much better supported by Arpad Šterbik between the posts. Vojvodina’s
back line was a little impressed with him which has caused many technical
mistakes instead of shots. On top of all that Vardar’s wingers Dibirov and
Brumen have scored many easy goals bringing their team the lead again with
13:16 in 38th minute.
Vardar’s experience was enough to keep
the lead until the end of the game easily.
Datukashvili scored 5 for Vojvodina and
on the other side Vardar’s best scorer was Brumen with 6 goals.
Arpad
Šterbik, Vardar’s goalkeeper:
- It was a good match. We have played
good in both defense and offense in the second half and that was the key for
our win today. I also have to say that Vojvodina are playing better and better,
we were tricked a bit by their bad performances in pre-season.
Bojan
Perović, Vojvodina’s goalkeeper:
- Vardar has today showed world-class
quality. They have in the other
half taken advantage of all our mistakes.
We’ve played on the same level with them in the first half, which is fantastic
success for our team. I hope that level of our performance will rise in the
future…
Raul
Gonzales, Vardar’s head-coach:
- I want to congratulate Vojvodina on
their performance. We were not playing with our best players in the second part
of the first half and Vojvodina was in that part of the match better. The first 15 minutes of the second half were
decisive…
Đorđe
Ćirković, Vojvodina’s head-coach:
- I believe this is the first time I feel happy
although we’ve lost the match. I have already mentioned that our goal is to
grow from match to match and we’re doing it. I agree with my colleague that
first 15 minutes of the second half were decisive. We need two-three more TOP
players for something more, but I am satisfied with our today’s performance.
Branioci titule u regionalnoj SEHA
GAZPROM South Stream Ligi, rukometaši skopskog Vardara, uspešno su započeli
odbranu naslova na gostovanju novosadskoj Vojvodini 26:21 (10:12). Dokaz da u ligi nema slabih rivala, došao je posle
30 minuta borbe u SC "Slana Bara", kada je na semaforu pisalo - 12:10 za
srpskog šampiona. Pokazao je Vardar sav
potencijal svog moćnog sastava u prvih 13 minuta (Dibirov doneo prednost 6:1),
ali i boljku olakog shvatanja rivala, pa su Novosađani, nemajući šta da izgube,
zaigrali daleko kvalitetnije i vođeni golovima Todorovića i Datukašvilija do
24. minuta preokrenuli na 9:7.
Vratio se tim Raula Gonzalesa u egal
preko ruskog reprezentativca Šiškareva u egal na 10:10, ali je srpski šampion
golovima Datukašvilija i Elezovića, otišao na odmor sa prednošću.
Raspoloženi gruzijski as, Serđo
Datukašvili, doneo je +3 svom timu na startu drugog poluvremena, ali to je bio
i znak da igrači makedonskog šampiona shvate da je đavo odneo šalu. Odbrana
Vardara zaigrala je mnogo agresivnije sa Arpadom Šterbikom na golu, koji je na
golu zamenio Petra Angelova. Španski reprezentativni čuvar mreže je, čini se,
impresionirao bekove novosadskog tima, pa su napadi Vojvodine, često završavali
tehničkim greškama, umesto šutevima.
U takvoj situaciji, Vardar je došao do
serije lakih golova preko Dibirova i Brumena, a trener Vojvodine, Đorđe
Ćirković, morao je da pozove tajm-aut posle serije 0:6 u 39. minutu (13:16).
Povratka u meč nije bilo. Vardar je nastavio rutinski da odrađuje posao,
došavši u 51. minutu do rekordnih +7 (16:23).
Srpski sastav je nastavio da se bori za
svaku loptu, a to se na kraju i isplatilo. Na kraju, svi akteri meča mogu biti
zadovoljni. Novosađani otporom daleko kvalitetnijem rivalu, a Vardar prvim
bodovima…
Izjave posle meča:
Arpad
Šterbik, golman RK Vardar:
- Ovo je bila jedna dobra utakmica.
Ozbiljnije smo igrali u drugom poluvremenu pa smo zbog toga uspeli da napravimo
jedan dobar rezultat. Vojvodina igra sve bolje i bolje, prevario nas je njihov
slab rezultat iz pripremnog perioda, pa smo možda opušteno ušli u utakmicu.
Zamalo da nas to puna košta.
Bojan
Perović, golman RK Vojvodina:
- Vardar je pokazao da je ekipa svetskog
kalibra. Iskoristili su svaku našu grešku, naročito početkom drugog
poluvremena. Ravnopravno smo se nosili u prvom delu sa njima, što mislim da je
za ovu ekipu veliki uspeh. Nadam se da ćemo podizati nivo igre, kako bismo
napravili neki značajniji rezultat.
Raul
Gonzales, trener RK Vardar:
- Čestitam Vojvodini na dobro odigranoj
utakmici. Prvo poluvreme delim na dva dela. Prvi koji je jako dobro išao i
drugi koji nije, jer smo igrali sa drugom postavom. Prvih 15 minuta drugog
poluvremena bilo je ključno i tu smo prelomili i pobedili.
Đorđe
Ćirković, trener RK Vojvodina:
- Prvi put mi se dešava da u porazu osećam
zadovoljstvo. Rekli smo da planiramo da odemo korak dalje u igri i to smo
uspeli. Slažem se da je prvih 15 minuta drugog dela definitivno odlučilo meč.
Za nešto više nam fale dva tri igrača top kalibra, ali drago mi je da i ovako
rastemo iz meča u meč.
