Last chance for Metalurg to catch Final tournament
Последна шанса за Металург да го „фати“ возот за Ф4
Belarus champions Meshkov Brest have already managed to fulfill their goal reaching SEHA GSS League’s third place after the regular part of the season making their final match of the season - the one against Metalurg in Skopje, one without result pressure on their shoulders.
Metalurg however still hope they can reach sixth place which would give them a chance to compete for League's trophy on Final tournament in Meshkov. It is also important to say that Metalurg's win would not make whole situation clear because they would still have to wait for Borac to beat NEXE in 4 days in Banja Luka. NEXE are currently sixth with 16 points, Metalurg have one less.
Game in Skopje is scheduled for Sunday, 19.00 CET. Entrance is free.
Lino Červar, Metalurg’s coach
We've had rough schedule lately but this match is really important for us and we have to show best possible performance. Meshkov are absolute favorites with amazing players already securing place on League's Final tournament. Our goal is however clear and I am happy we'll play such match tomorrow because matches like this make team gain experience and become better. We'll surely do our best.
Nikola Kosteski, Metalurg’s player
We know strengths of Meshkov’s team, we've even had a good chance to win there. However, we know they are far more experienced than we are and we know that in order to reach this victory we'll have to really give our best. I hope our fans will be there for us tomorrow, they are amazingly important for us at the moment.
Želјko Babić, Meshkov’s coach
It will be interesting to play once again against young Macedonian team. In our last game we’ve had a lot of trouble with them and I have no doubt this match will be very similar. We’re rising from match to match, that’s what makes me happy and we’re going to Skopje to show another good performance and finish the regular part of the season in good mood.
Ljubo Vukić, Meshkov’s player
Our rivals have very young team, but we should not take this match easily. Two weeks ago in Brest, Metalurg’ve showed, that even with such roster they can surprise us. If we do our best I believe we won't have any problem.
