nexe-met

King Tomislav sports hall will on Wednesday (19:00 CET) host battle for sixth place in SEHA GSS League with NEXE hosting Metalurg. Macedonian champions are currently better positioned with 2 more points than hosts. Team from Našice have good experiences from clashes agaisnt team from Avtokomanda losing only once, little more than a month ago i Skopje (23:21). It is clear that NEXE are eager to reach revenge but it will surely not be easy with this match being scheduled between two EHF' Cup matches against Swedish Eskilstuna Guif and only two days ahead of trip to Scandinavia.

Zdenko Kordi, NEXE's coach:

It will be a new huge challenge for us. My players work very well and it is my pleasure to work with them. Although it seems that Metalurg are experiencing some kind of crisis I am sure the match will be really tough b ut hopefully easier with our fans right behind us. With them we can make big things.  

Marko Mrđenović, NEXE's captain:

All our thoughts are on Metalurg now. They are very strong, and their additional big force is coach Lino Červar. It won't be easy but we have to play our game and best we can. Match is really important, battle for sixth place and we're aware of that.  

Lino Červar, Metalurg's coach:

Our goals remain the same. We wish for our young team to gain experience and start playing better and more coordinated. Filip Taleski and Marko Neloski will not be on our roster for this match and it is a big handicap for us.

Goce Ojleski, Metalurg's player:

We know NEXE very well, especially with our prevous encounter being only little more than a month away. This match is going to be very tough, but our goal is to show fighting spirit like in previous matches.
