Вардар очекува лесен меч – Раднички најавува силен отпор

Vardar najava

Vardar will on Wednesday and Friday play two matches of SEHA GSS League, both at home in their new ‘Jane Sandaski hall’. First they will host Radnički and two days later Tatran comes to visit.

After a busy month in EHF's Champions League and four games in a row without defeat Vardar wants to finish the month with series of five matches without a loss with four wins.

Vardar is entering the match as a big favorite while Radnički wishes to surprise hosts even after a loss in Banja Luka only a few days ago. Hosts will play without Alex Dujshebaev who is a bit injured and whose place in the roster will take Stefan Terzić. Coach Gonzalez believes this is a great thing and an opportunity for players who play less to show their talent and potential for the first team. This will on the other side be Radnički's second match in Skopje this season. In their first appearance in Macedonian capital they were defeated by Metalurg 35:22.

Raul Gonzalez, Vardar’s coach

We have to adapt our team to SEHA GSS League. We’ve achieved an important draw against Montpellier and now it is hard to focus on Radnički. They are a good team playing 3-3 defense so we have to be ready for it. Our players are a bit tired but we surely want to extend winning streak with players who play less eager to show their talent.    

Stefan Terzić, Vardar’s players

I agree with my coach, Radnički is a team that often changes its defense during the game. They also play good handball, a typical Balkan style which means fighting until the final whistle bringing most of their matches to a thriller ending. Our plan is however to win the game and continue with good performances.

Nedeljko Vučković, Radnički’s coach

I think my team will be able to recover from a loss few days ago in Banja Luka. Vardar is a super quality team and they, in my opinion play really good, nice looking handball. If we manage to play like we did first 50 minutes against Borac we might reach a good result in Skopje.   

Aleksandar Gugleta, Radnički’s player

A team consisting of national team players like Šterbik, Dibirov, Marković Abutović, Stoilov itself is a great motivation for my teammates and for me, to play over our level, and give great resistance against this worthy favorite team. We want to play like Montpellier did in France, use 'holes' in Vardar's performance they've managed to find. Our goal is to play like we did in Banja Luka.
