"We have more power in our hands. The match played with Metalurg was with 50 percent power. This team of Vardar is still looking for better performance, and need time to be on level we wanted. We score 28 goals, but missed penalties, some clearmissed shots. I am satisfied with some part of our game, and dissatisfied with the performance of goalkeepers. I think for better results in Champions League matches and SEHA league against stronger teams we need better performances of goalkeepers, Kastratović says.
