Plaskan has managed to start his job as Gorenje’s head coach with a victory
against Izvidjac from Ljubuski. Final result was 31:24 which might serve as an
introduction into a better era for fans in ‘Rdeca dvorana’. Bosnian
champions were able to stay close, even lead in the opening part of the match
reaching 8:5 with 15 minutes left to play in the first. Hosts have however
managed to turn it upside down with Brumen, Klec and Medved scoring to bring
their team back to +2. However, guests were, led by Sarac and Hrstic doing well
keeping favored host fully focused throughout the match. In the second half
Bosnian champions were not able to keep the tempo running with Gorenje’s
reinforcements for the season - Toskić, Brumen and Mitrovic along with Medved
deciding the encounter enlarging the gap to 7 just 10 minutes before the
buzzer. Gorenje's
goalkeeper Rok Zaponsek has had a fantastic evening with 17 saves, along with
Medved and Brumen adding five goals each. Matej Hrstic was the best in guest
team’s roster scoring 11 goals.
Borut Plaskan, Gorenje Velenje coach: That was
a good game. We’ve missed some shots in the opening part but good defense later
into the encounter has given us a chance to get better in the attacking part of
our game. Goalie Zaponsek has also given us a chance to score some easy goals.
We’ve played on a high level in the second part but we can play even better. Now
we have some time until the next game for hard trainings.
Rok Zaponsek, Gorenje Velenje goalkeeper: In the
beginning our team was nervous, but we did not panic. In end of the first half
we’ve managed to catch Izvidac enlarging the gap in the second half. Difficult
game.
Zdenko Grbavac, Izvidjac CO coach: Today was
the same story like in our previous games. We play good and then all of the
sudden we give opponents possibilities to score easy goals as we are missing
shots in attack. We are young but despite of that we have to display better
discipline in the game.
Matej Hrstic, Izvidjac CO player: We’ve
opened the match well realizing we can play against them. However, then we’ve
entered a bad period for us allowing hosts to make advantage and finally win
the match.
Borut Plaskan je svojo uvodno tekmo na klopi Gorenja Velenja začel z zmago proti Ividjaču iz Ljubuškega. Končni rezultat 31:24 navijačem v Rdeči dvorani obeta boljše čase. Bosanski prvaki so na začetku tesno sledili domačim rokometašem, po 15 minutah pa vodili z 8:5. Gostitelji so potek tekme uspeli preobrniti na krilih Brumna, Kleča in Medveda, ki so prinesli vodstvo za dva gola. Ne glede na to so gostje, ki sta ju vodila Šarac in Hrstić, ohranjali osredotočenost skozi tekmo. V drugem polčasu ekipa iz Bosne in Hercegovine ni več uspela slediti tempu Gorenja, ki se je 10 minut pred koncem tekme preko Toskića, Brumna, Mitrovića in Medveda povzpel na sedem zadetkov prednosti. Vratar Gorenja Velenja Rok Zaponšek je odigral fantastično tekmo in ubranil kar 17 strelov proti svojim vratom, medtem ko sta Medved in Brumen dosegla po pet zadetkov. Pri gostih je bil s 17 goli najboljši Matej Hrstić
Borut Plaskan, trener RK Gorenje Velenje: Čestitke nasprotnikom za športno in korektno tekmo, za katero mislim, da je bila dobra. Naši ekipi se je videlo, da smo obračun začeli v krču, saj smo zgrešili nekaj neoviranih strelov, ki jih sicer ne bi smeli. To se je pripetilo tudi našim najizkušenejšim igralcem. Toda v nadaljevanju smo zaigrali bolje v obrambi, kar je obenem prineslo bolj sproščeno igro v napadu. Tudi po zaslugi obramb Zaponška smo dosegli nekaj lahkih golov. V drugem polčasu je bila naša igra že na precej visokem nivoju, a prostora za napredek je še precej. Do naslednje tekme nas loči kar nekaj časa, tega pa bomo porabili, da dodelamo nekatere stvari v igri. Optimistično čakamo naslednjo tekmo.
Rok Zaponšek, igralec RK Gorenje Velenje: Tekmo smo začeli nekoliko nervozno, nismo igrali tako, kot znamo. Kljub temu nismo zganjali panike, v zaključku prvega polčasa ulovili tekmeca, v nadaljevanju pa počasi, a zanesljivo ušli na varno razliko. Tekma je bila težka, saj ima Izvidjač na voljo izjemne posameznike na zunanjih položajih. Uspeli smo z disciplinirano igro. Čestitke tudi nasprotnikom za prikazano.
Zdenko Grbavac, trener HRK Izvidjač CO: Podobno kot na dosedanjih tekmah smo tudi tokrat določen del tekme odigrali dobro, nato pa nasprotnikom dovolili, da po naših napakah v obrambi in nerealiziranih strelih v napadu dosegajo lahke gole. Smo mladi, vendar v prihodnje moramo pokazati več discipline v naši igri.
Matej Hrstic, igralec HRK Izvidjač CO: Tekmo smo dobro začeli in videli, da se lahko kosamo s tekmeci. Za tem smo zašli v slabe minute in tekmecem dali priložnost, da zmagajo.
