Match of the week in SEHA GAZPROM South
Stream League will be played on Saturday in Veszprem, where home team will have
season's premiere in front of their fans
against one of their biggest rivals in the battle for regional crown - Vardar
Skopje. This will also be a great preparation for their clash in EHF CL’s
group. Match begins at 16:00 CET in Veszprem Arena.
Raul Gonzales,
Vardar’s coach:
-
Match ahead of us is very important for the team. We want to play good handball
and it will be interesting to see how we can play against such a strong
opponent like Veszprem. I don’t know what to expect to be honest because this
will be our first strong match in the season. We have the same ambitions for
the season ahead of us and it will be great to see where do we ‘stand’ at the
moment. I believe we have enough quality to win, even against such a great
opponent like Veszprem.
Carlos Ortega, MKB
MVM Veszprem’s coach:
-
Both of our teams are in the process of building because of many new players we
both have signed during the summer. Our matches are always great and I have no
doubt this one will be the same. We play at home and we surely want to show our
power. It is interesting that we’ll play against Vardar in CL’s group too. We
are prepared and ready to face them for the first time this season.
Arpad Šterbik,
Veszprem’s goalkeeper:
-
I am slowly becoming a part of the team and I like it. I know a lot of my teammates
from the past and it is great to play in such a strong club. Speaking of the
match against Veszprem, it is important to say that we are aware of our goals
this season and what we have to do to reach them. Veszprem surely is stronger
than any other club we can play against in this League but we are also a strong
team and I believe we must not be afraid of anyone.
Andreas Nilsson, Veszprem’s
player:
- I have a lot of new things to learn here in my
new team, but they take good care of me. I think we are really good. We have
three wins in SEHA GSS League so far but tomorrow we’ll play two time
champions. This will as well be our first match in front of our amazing fans.
We know it will be hard but we will go for new three points.
U subotu se u Vespremu igra veliki derbi
SEHA GAZPROM South Stream Lige. Aktuelni šampion RK Vardar Skoplje ide na noge
četvrtoj ekipi Evrope u prošloj sezoni i najvećem imenu regionalnog takmičenja,
mađarskom Vespremu. Veliki test za oba tima pred nastupe u EHF Ligi šampiona,
koja počinje za dve nedelje. Meč počinje u 16 časova u "Vesprem Areni":
-
Sutrašnja utakmica je veoma važna sa aspekta izgradnje tima. Želimo da igramo
dobar rukomet. Igramo protiv sjajnog tima, jednog od najboljih u Evropi. Ne
znam šta možemo da očekujemo, jer će ovo prvo biti veoma težak meč. Želimo
plasman na F4 turnir SEHA lige, ali želimo da se pripremimo za našu prvu
utakmicu u EHF Ligi šampiona. Znamo da će biti teško, jer imaju dobre igrače i
trenera, koji radi dobar posao tamo. Vesprem je igrao F4 EHF Lige šampiona, a
ove sezone bi mogli da budu i bolji. Znamo da moraju uklopiti novajlije u svoj
tim i da tek moraju napredovati, ali verujem da već sada mogu da igraju
kvalitetan rukomet - uveren je trener Vardara, Raul Gonzales.
Njegov
kolega, Antonio Karlos Ortega, zna
da njegov tim čeka težak duel:
-
Oba tima su u procesu uklapanja novih igrača u tim, ali meč Vesprema i Vardara
je uvek veliki. Igramo ćemo kući, želimo da pokažemo našu snagu. U ovom momentru
posle tri utakmice, manje su primali golova od nas, dobri su u odbrani, ali
uradićemo sve da pobedimo. Zajedno smo u grupi EHF Lige šampiona, ali ne mislim
da će ovo biti loše za oba tima. Ovakvu situaciju smo već imali sa Segedom.
SEHA je kvalitetnija od mađarske lige, ali imamo manje vremena za trening zbog
dugih putovanja. Nekada nam utakmice služe za treninge.
Bivši
golman Vesprema, a sada jedinica Vardara,
Arpad Šterbik, vraća se u grad gde je stekao igračku afirmaciju:
-
Moje uklapanje u tim ide dobro. Znao sam neke igrače od ranije, trener je bio
asistent u klubu gde sam igrao godinama, tako da je sve u vezi novog tima
super. Naš cilj je plasman na F4 SEHA lige, ali moramo ići korak po korak.
Mislim da smo još daleko od našeg najboljeg rukometa. Uskoro počinje EHF Liga
šampiona, moramo se pripremati i za to. Ova utakmica neće odlučiti o plasmanu
na F4. Vesprem je na višem nivou od svih. Blizu su Tatran, Brest i dva
makedonska kluba. Ne znam u kakvom stanju je Zagreb.
Pivotmen
Vesprema, Andreas Nilson, očekuje
zahtevan meč:
- Moram dosta toga da učim u novom timu, ali svi
mi pomažu. Biće to dobro. Imamo tri pobede u SEHA ligi, ali sutra igramo protiv
velikog rivala. Ovo će biti naš prvi meč kod kuće pred sjajnom publikom. Imamo
manje treninga, ali smo pozitivni. Biće teško, ali idemo na pobedu.
