Tatran Prešov
have managed to extend their winning streak. They have won third match in
a row in Našice but it was much harder than expected. NEXE have had an
excellent chance to take at least a point in their first home match but that in
the end did not happen. They have had advantage for the bigger part of the
first half.
However, in the second half Tatran got much better especially in
defence led by remarkable goalkeeper Božić whose last second save was decisive
for Tatran today. A real SEHA Gazprom spectacle for people in Našice.
Zdenko Kordi, NEXE's coach:
We were playing four matches against teams from
Champions league. For me Tatran are one of the best teams in SEHA Gazprom
league straight with Meshkov, Zagreb, Vardar and Veszprem. We've had some good
moments during the match. We knew what Tatran will play in defense but we've
had a problem. It is important for us to learn from our mistakes.
Edi Vešligaj, NEXE's
goalkeeper:
We've opened the match well
but Tatran have changed defense system later taking advantage and control of
the match. We've had a chamce to take a point but we did not score. Coach gave
me an opportunizy and I hope he was satisfied. I am sad because of this loss.
Rastislav Trtik, Tatran's
coach:
My opinion is that fans and
spectators were able to enjoy today. It was very interesting and dramatic
match. We were playing much better in the second half. We could have decided
winner before the last minute, but we have excellent goalkeeper who has in
the end brought us this victory.
Vladimir Božić, Tatran's goalkeeper:
NEXE opened the match better
but we've played better overall today, especially in defense. It was a real
narrow match, they have had a chance to score over their winger Božić-Pavlović
but they did not. Great and tough victory for us.
Tatran iz Prešova nastavio je pobjednički niz.
Ostvarili su u Našicama i treću pobjedu u nizu, ali i kako se očekivalo na vrlo
težak način. Momčad NEXE-a koja je igrala prvi susret ove sezone u Našicama
nakon tri gostovanja, imala je prigode osvojiti barem bod. Domaća momčad imala
je prednost većim dijelom prvog poluvremena. Nakon 30 minuta otišli su na odmor
s pogotkom prednosti.
U drugom poluvremenu Tatran je preokrenuo. Zaigrali su
svoju prepoznatljivu igru sa svojim hrvatskim vratarom Vladimirom Božićem,
stekli su prednost od šest pogodaka. Ali, NEXE se nije predao. U posljednju
minutu ušli su se loptom u posjedu, time-outom i sa samo pogotkom minusa. Osam
sekundi prije kraja lopta je došla do desnog krila Josipa Božića-Pavletića kojem
je šut obranio vratar Božić koji je tako postao junak ove zanimljive utakmice.
Zdenko
Kordi, trener NEXE'a:
Igrali smo već
četvrtu utakmicu u deset dana protiv momčadi iz Lige prvaka. Za mene je Tatran
momčad koja će igrati ravnopravno s najboljima u Seha Gazprom ligi kao Meškov,
Zagreb, Vardar ili Veszprem. Imali smo nekoliko dobrih trenutaka, posebice
tijekom prvog poluvremena. Znali smo koje vrste obrane igra Tatran, ali očito
smo imali i problema. Učinili smo neke pogreške koje nam se i ranije događaju,
pa moramo učiti i iz tih pogrešaka.
Edi Vešligaj, vratar NEXE-a:
Počeli smo igrati
dobro, ali kada je Tatran promijenio obranu prvo su nas sustigli, a u drugom
poluvremenu i stekli prednost. Imali smo priliku za jedan bod, ali nismo na
kraju pogodili. Trener mi je dao prigodu, mislim da sam je dobro iskoristio,
ali sam tužan što smo izgubili susret.
Rastislav Trtik, trener Tatrana:
Mislim da su
navijači i gledatelji mogli uživati danas. Odigrali smo daleko kvalitetnije u
drugom poluvremenu, mogli smo i ranije riješiti pitanje pobjednika. Imali smo
sjajnog vratara Božića, koji nam je donio pobjedu.
Vladimir Božić, vratar Tatrana:
NEXE je otvorio bolje susret, ali imali smo taktiku igrati mnogo čvršću
obranu na njihovu lijevu stranu napada, jer smo procijenili da je puno opasnija
nego li desna. NEXE je imao šansu za remi, ali inače odlično desno krilo Josip
Božić-Pavletić nije iskoristio odličnu prigodu,
