Metalurg will have hard time to qualify for SEHA GSS final
tournament, after losing in Banja Luka, 27-21 against Borac M-tel. Home team
has with these points escaped from the bottom of the table.
Metalurg remains on seventh position on the table, with one
point less than Nexe. Metalurg still has a chance to be last qualified team for
tournament in Veszprem, but needs victory in last round versus Meshkov in
Skopje, and also hoping on Nexe’s defeat against Borac.
Throughout the match in Banja Luka,host had led all the
time. In absence of Stefan Talevski and Marko Neloski, guest have problems with
shots from distance. In the second half Metalurg reduced Borac’s lead to 16-13,
and Borac responded with a series of 6-1 and 22-14 lead, which solved the
dilemma on the game.
Igor Radjenović,
Borac’s coach:
- We used our chance, as Metalurg played with inexperienced
player and haven’t time to meet better each other. We played well in second
half, and make them pressure to shots from distance, and also use many fast
breaks. When they played a 5-1 defense, have a little problem, but I am pleased
with the victory.
Milan Djukić,
Borac’s player:
- We were favorites in this match. We use our chances and
won.
Lino Červar,
Metalurg’s coach:
- I congratulate to Borac. I see that as the team their form
is going up. Borac have a few names who can grow into good players, and a lot
of talented players. We lost, and after defeat each coach can not be satisfied.
But club left 17 players, and 11 Macedonian national team players. However we
fight with this problem. We had a situation like Copenhagen, Atletico and
Chekhovski. But we stayed on feet, because we’re working with youth categories.
I am pleased with today's match. For nine days we played our third match. We
have problems with injuries. There were times when we played well in defense.
We are left one more game, and then will start national championship, and I
think that will raise the form. Next season Metalurg will have a respectable
team again.
Djordje Golubović,
Metalurg’s player
- This is my first game in Banja Luka, and I was happy that tribune was
full. We’re a young team, and hard train in order to correct the mistakes
during the game. We had some good period in game. We’ll be even better in the
future. It remains a game versus Meshkov, and then will fully concentrate on
the domestic league.
Samo tri dana nakon poraza od PPD Zagreba rukometaši Borac
m:tela ostvarili su treću pobjedu ove sezone. Banjolučani su u svojoj dvorani
bili bolji od skopskog Metalurga (27:21), koji je tako nastavio niz poraza
nakon što je njihov trener Lino Červar ostao na sasvim mladom i neuigranom sastavu.
Od početka susreta domaćin je nametnuo svoj stil igre. Već u 21. minuti imao je
Borac pet pogodaka prednosti, a s tom se razlikom i otišlo na odmor. Iskusni
pivot Ratko Nikolić s pet pogodaka bio je nezadrživ za obranu Metalurga, a
lijevi vanjski Davorin Vujović i lijevo krilo Mirko Mikić postigli su po tri
pogotka iz isto toliko šuteva na Metalurgova vrata.
Nastavak nije donio preokret ili barem neizvjesnost.
Metalurg se u 39. minuti nakon serije od
3:0 tek uspio približiti na tri pogotka "minusa", ali dalje od toga nije išlo.
Ponovno je Borac m:tel zaigrao koncentriranije, prije svega u obrani. U napadu
priključio se i Milan Đukić, a Ratko Nikolić je i dalje bio nezadrživ. S
njegovim osmim pogotkom Borac je u 53. minuti stigao do osam pogodaka
prednosti. (26:18). Uspio je Metalurg u posljednjoj minuti vratiti na "minus
pet" pogodaka zaostatka koliko je bilo na kraju prvog poluvremena, ali je Vujović stavio "točku na i" pobjede
Borca.
Igor Rađenović,
trener Borac m:tela:
- Iskoristili smo neiskustvo i neuigranost Metalurga. Dobro
smo odigrali obranu posebice u drugom poluvremenu gdje smo tjerali igrače da pucaju
iz neizrađenih situacija. Golman nam je branio dobro, imali smo i polukontri i
kontri, imali smo malo problema kada su nam odigrali 5-1 zonu međutim uspjeli
smo to prebroditi i idemo dalje.
Milan Đukić,
igrač Borac m:tela:
- Mi smo bili blagi favoriti i to smo opravdali. Najbitnije
da smo osvojili tri boda i da se nitko nije ozlijedio. Želim sreću igračima
Metalurga, a mi se okrećemo našim zadacima.
Lino Červar,
trener Metalurga:
- Čestitam ekipi Borca na zasluženoj pobjedi. Borac se diže
što je dobro za rukomet jer je Banja Luka hram rukometa. Borac ima talenata
koji mogu izrasti u odlične igrače poput Jankovića ili Vujovića. Što se tiče
utakmice nikada nakon poraza trener ne može biti zadovoljan, ali kada se radi o
našoj situaciji u kojoj smo izgubili 17 igrača od čega 11 reprezentativaca pa
smo se na određeni način odhrvali tom problemu. Zbog toga sam demonstracijom
utakmice s naše strane čak i zadovoljan, ali vidjelo se da smo još neiskusni
posebice kada protiv sebe imamo iskusne igrače poput Nikolića koji doživljava
novu mladost.
Đorđe Golubović,
igrač Metalurga:
- Ovo je moja prva utakmica u Boriku i drago mi je što ima dosta
gledatelja. Mislim kako je utakmica bila dobra. Imamo mladu ekipu, koja dosta
trebamo trenirati kako bi ispravili pogreške koje smo imali u utakmici. Imali
smo i sada dobrih trenutaka pa vjerujem
da možemo biti još samo bolji. Imamo još utakmicu protiv Meškova i onda se
trebamo koncentrirati na makedonsku ligu.
