BRKOVIĆ: "WE AREN’T THE FAVORITE"

Match of SEHA GAZPROM SS League Round 7 between RK Partizan and RK Nexe will be played on Thursday (17hrs) at Belgrade’s "Banjica" hall. The clash of two teams from the lower part of the league table will be a perfect opportunity for them to win the new points and make progression towards best team of the competition. RK Partizan’s coach Aleksandar Brkovic is aware of that fact, but he knows that his team can’t take a favorite role in this moment:

- We played good two matches against French Nantes, here and in France, and I am sure that we will repeat that level of performance against Croatian vicechampion RK Nexe. I am sure that victory against them will be close in that case - said young coach.

RK Partizan is defeated at the EHF Cup Round 2 against French Nantes. Serbian second team last year get back from Paris in Wednesday and after only a few hour had training session in order to prepare well for the clash against Nexe. That tells a lot about ambition in this match, said young playmaker Igor Mrsulja:

- Of course that will be tough to face Nexe. I know that we are working hard and give 100% on every match to win, but also that from defeats we are taking the good lessons. I hope that tomorrow we will take the first one - points - concluded Mrsulja.

NEXE WANTS TO WIN IN BELGRADE

After successful Macedonian journey, but also great success against Greek Diomidis, when they qualified for the EHF Cup - Round 3, Croatian RK Nexe coming to Belgrade in good mood:

- Exausting rhythm is behind us. We fell tired after all away matches and of course, there are problems with small injuries. I believe that we can be on the good level. Partizan isn’t a team from TOP 5 in SEHA GSS. We can play with them. They will search for the chance to beat us, but that is also our chance to win and get out from the group of teams from the lower part of the League table. In that group is Partizan also - said RK Nexe coach Zdenko Kordi.

Team’s captain, line-player Marko Mrdjenovic believes that Nexe can win at "Banjica":

- Our goal is to win in Belgrade. It would be great to beat Partizan and step away from the group of three last team in SEHA GSS and then with victory over Lovćen to finish this successful month in which we qualified for the EHF Cup Round 3.
