Partizan hopes for Final Four

Milos Kostadinovic


Partizan winger Milos Kostadinovic, was best scorer on tournament in Novi Sad. Serbian vice champion for first time will play in SEHA league, and team hope have enough strength to reach Final four.

 

* You were best scorer of the tournament in Novi Sad. Does this mean that in front of you is a good season and that could be the Partizan "first violin"?

- I sincerely hope that after a half-season in Belarus where I did not have much room to play, now are coming better days for me and I hope that my form will be much better in future. Partizan next season will have many young players in team with a few of us older players and expectations are to give the best of us and to help younger.

 

* You decided to return in Partizan after playing in Meshkov. There you already had experience with SEHA leagues. How good this league is and if you think this will be good chance to progress.

- SEHA League from year to year became stronger and more serious league. I think there are many quality teams and I think every player can make progress playing.

 

* In Novi Sad were three teams that this season will play in SEHA league. What is their form?

- We arrive on this tournament directly from preparation without any single game played before. Also have some problems with injures (Dimitrijevic and Rasic), and coach and several players are with cadets national team on WCH in Hungary. Currently Vojvodina and Nexe are in better form, and they show this in Novi Sad.    

 * After one season, Serbian club return in SEHA league. Do you think this will raise the quality of handball, and how you look at this league in the future?

- I honestly think it will. This year other clubs have stepped up enough so that the quality of the league will be on a higher level. I expect that in the future Seha League will be one of the strongest leagues in Europe.

 

* What would be a success for Partizan this season in SEHA league?

- Success would certainly be placing the Final four, but I say Partizan enters in the season with a very young team and we go "game by game" and see how much we're ready this season.

 

* Who is favorite team for Final Four for the league title?

- Surely, same like in previous seasons, Vardar and Metalurg, because both teams are even stronger than last year. Meskov made a good team. Anyway league will be a very good and interesting for fans.
