Comments and expectations before the next match - MKB-MBM Veszprém vs. Vardar Skopje - EHF CL match

Comments and expectations before the Saturday’s match...

This Saturday will be the derby of Group C when MKB-MVM Veszprém visits Vardar Skopje.

Antonio Carlos Ortega, Mirsad Terzic and Máté Lékai shared their thoughts with us.

Antonio Carlos Ortega, couch:

This match is very important and it will be very difficult, moreover, as always in the Champions League, we have to play under big pressure. Luckily, Máté Lékai could return to the team last week, who contributed to our winning against Radnicki. I am sure that we have to do our best if we want to win as Vardar is a very good team, especially at home. But  I am totally sure that we will fight for winning during all the 60 minutes. There will be very heated atmosphere but I hope that it won’t disturb us. This won’t be new for our players because they have already played in these circumstances before, so I think that the only thing, which the atmosphere can bother, is the communication on the court.

Mirsad Terzic, Left Back:

Vardar is a very strong team, whose arena has a dreadful atmosphere. We have to play very tough in Skopje, where everybody has to do his best in order to have a good result. Hopefully, all our injured players will be able to play, as well. It doesn’t matter that Vardar is strong or not, firstly, we have to mind our own business and we have to do everything for winning. The key of success – as always – will be the tough defence. After an efficient defence we can score easy goals which can decide the match’s result. In my opinion, our team is in good condition enough to have a very good performance on Saturday as everybody returned to the team in very good shape from their national teams. Of course, we needed some days while we could focus on Veszprém’s tactic 100 percent after being with our national team. But now everybody is absolutely ready for the weekend.

Máté Lékai, Middle Back:

First of all, I’m so happy that I could return to the team after my injury. I hope that I can recover 100 percent soon, get back my best shape, my senses, my playing style step by step in order to be useful to the team. Vardar is very strong, especially at home, because of this I expect a very difficult match. I am sure that they are also prepared thoroughly for this match. They probably sacrificed their last match, against Brest because of the match against us. But we were also working hard during the whole week and I trust in that, we will be better.
