After series of bad results, Serbian
vice-champions Radnički from Kragujevac are waiting for the clash with
Macedonian Metalurg from Skopje as one of last chances to gain some points in
the regional SEHA GAZPROM South Stream League. Even without their playmaker
Ivan Šmigić and right winger Aleksandar Gugleta, Serbs will try to avoid the
bottom of the table. On the other side, Macedonians still have small chances to
qualify for the F4 tournament, and any unexpected defeat will make things even
harder. Match is scheduled on Wednesday, 19:00 CET.
Nedeljko
Vučković, Radnički’s coach:
We will host a team which was one step
away from CL’s F4 last season. That says enough about them, we respect them,
espeically their coach Lino Červar who has through his career managed to win
everything. They have a strong team full of NT players like Mojsovski,
Mirkulovski or Vugrinec as well as good youngsters and I’m sure they’ll soon
get back on tracks of glory.
Ivan
Milinčić, Radnički’s player.
There is not much to say about Metalurg,
they are a great team full of NT players led by Lino Červar. We respect them
and eventhough we did not have enough time to prepare full for this match we
will surely give our best on the court.
Lino
Červar, Metalurg’s coach:
We will play an opponent we must not underestimate.
They are a good, experienced team. We will use this last match before the
winter break again as a chance to give our youngsters a chance.
Nikola
Markoski, Metalurg’s player:
We’ve had four matches in last two weeks which
makes this a hard period for us. Despite of that, we’ll give our best to show
reat performance and finish this part of the season with 3 new points.
Posle serije poraza u regionalnoj SEHA
GAZPROM South Stream ligi, srpski vicešampion Radnički iz Kragujevca dočekuje
skiopski Metalurg u sredu od 19 časova.
Meč 13. kola biće jedna od poslednjih prilika za srpski tim da uknjiži bodove
pred svojim navijačima i izbegne fenjer, koji deli sa banjalučkim Borcem sa
četiri osvojena boda. Sa druge strane, makedonski šampion još uvek ima
teoretske šanse da dođe do F4 turnira, tako da bi ga svaki kiks na gostovanjima
udaljio od zacrtanog cilja.
Trener RK Radnički, Nedeljko Vučković:
-Dolazi nam ekipa koja je bila blizu F4
Lige šampiona i koja je šampion Makedonije. Puno respektujemo ekipu Metalurga,
naročito njihovog trenera Lina Červara koji je u svojoj karijeri osvojio sve
što se moglo osvojiti. Dolazi nam jedna ozbiljna ekipa sa puno reprezentativaca
reprezentativaca. Tu su Mojsovski,Mirkulovski,Vugrinec. Pritisnuti problemima,
podmladili su ekipu i siguran sam da će to kroz odredjeno vreme dati rezultat.
Mi ćemo iako oslabljeni za Šmigića i Gugletu ostaviti srce na terenu i pokušati
da iznenadimo Metalurg .
Optimista pred duel sa Metalurgom je i Ivan Milinčić.
-Suvišno je pričati o jačini Metalurga,
ekipi koja je prepuna reprezentativaca i predvodi je jedan od najboljih trenera
na svetu Lino Červar. Mi respektujemo Metalurg, ali iako nismo imali puno
vremena za pripremu utakmice ostavićemo srce na terenu i nadam se da ćemo mi
biti ti koji ćemo se radovati.
Lino
Červar, trener RK Metalurg:
- Igramo sa protivnikom koga ne smemo da
potcenimo. Radnički je protivnik koji mora da se respektuje, to je dobra i
iskusna ekipa, a ovo je poslednji meč pred pauzu zbog Svetskog prvenstva u
Kataru, koji možemo iskoristiti da naši igrači steknu važno iskustvo.
Nikola
Markovski, pivotmen RK Metalurg:
- Nalazimo se u napornom period, jer smo u dve
nedelje odigrali četiri utakmice. Jedno je sigurno, daćemo sve od sebe da
dobrom igrom i pobedom završimo 2014. godinu.
