Belarus champions Meshkov Brest have
celebrated a victory in Serbian city of Kragujevac against the home team
Radnički 33:26 (19:15). In their second duel this season Babić’ players were
playing better winning confidently in front of many spectators in Kragujevac.
Meshkov’s MVP of the day was Ivan Pešić with remarkable 26 saves in total.
Hosts were doing everything to catch a team
which plays in CL but Pešić was always there when his club needed him most
keeping the advantage on their side. Radnički’s last chance to come closer was
on 21:23 but Nikulenkau and Vukić have created a series which has brought them
a clear win in the end.
Dzianis Rutenka was top scorer in home team
with 7 goals, Dejan Pralica netted five for Radnički.
Aleksandar
Bosić, Radnički’ player
I want to congratulate Meshkov on a
victory. They are playing the best handball after Veszprem in my opinion and
they deserved to win. We’ve tried to play against them, but received 9 goals in
the first 10 minutes of the match, in situation that we didn't make two fouls
on them. That gave them +4 on half-time break. We began second half badly and
it was impossible to make a comeback against a team full of experienced
national team players.
Ivan
Pešić, Meshkov’s goalkeeper
We’ve known it won’t be easy. We were
tired, but we gave our maximum. Without that, result wouldn't be positive.
Despite of troubles in our defense, we didn't want to let the match have a
narrow ending.
Željko
Babić, Meshkov’s coach
The match against Radnički in Brest was a
sign that we have to be prepared well for this match. We’ve experienced some
tactical problems in the middle of the match, but compensation was our
offensive play. Radnički are team which is rising and they’ve once again showed
they have great potential and a good coach. Difference at the end is higher
than real difference in quality of two teams.
Bojan
Milentijević, Radnički’ coach
I congratulate Meshkov on a well deserved
victory. We’ve had a lot of problems in defense. We didn't start match as we
wanted. Our problem is also rotation and transition. I hope to see better
performance of my players until the end of SEHA season as this was only the
first match from four which we will play in front of our home fans.
Beloruski šampion Meškov iz Bresta slavio
je na gostovanju u Kragujevcu protiv Radničkog 33:26 (19:15). Veliki favoriti u
ovom meču, igrači trenera Željka Babića, nisu dozvolili da ih motivisani
domaćin iznenadi, kako je to bio slučaj u prvom međusobnom okršaju u Belorusiji
prošle jeseni, kada je Meškov u finišu stigao do minimalne pobede 29:28.
Najvažnija figura na meču bio je hrvatski
čuvar mreže u beloruskom sastavu, Ivan Pešić, koji je odbranio 26 šuteva
domaćina. To je bila i glavna razlika između dva takmaca na terenu, koji su
imali periode dominacije u interesantnih 60 minuta u hali "Jezero".
Učesnici EHF Lige šampiona bili su u
vođstvu tokom čitavog meča, ali su Kragujevčani u par navrata uspeli da
zaprete, poslednji put stignu na -2 - 21:23, kada su Nikulenka i Vukić sa par
vezanih golova slomili otpor rivala.
Desno krilo gostiju Džainis Rutenka
postigao je sedam golova za svoj tim, dok se srednji bek Kragujevčana Dejan
Pralica zaustavio na pet...
Aleksandar
Bosić, igrač Radničkog
"Čestiram Meškovu na pobedi. Ova ekipa za
mene u poslednje vreme posle Vesprema igra najbolji rukomet i zasluženo je
došla do pobede. Digli su formu pred dolazak ovde, mi smo pokušali da im se
odupremo i da im pariramo u igri, ali smo za prvih 10 minuta primili devet
golova, a da nismo napravili ni dva faula, što im je omogućilo da završe
poluvreme sa četiri gola prednosti. Drugo poluvreme smo takođe loše počeli i
nismo uspeli da ih stignemo, jer su oni jedna iskusna ekipa prepuna
reprezentativaca i potpuno zasluženo izborila trijumf."
Ivan
Pešić, golman Meškova
"Znali smo da če biti teško. Bili smo dosta
umorani, ali smo dali sve od sebe jer da nije bilo tako, rezultat ne bi bio
povoljan. Imali smo poteškoća u odbrani, a ni u jednom tenutku nismo želeli da
dopustimo nezivesnu završnicu."
Željko
Babić, trener Meškova
"Utakmica koju smo igrali sa Radničkim u
Bestu je bila znak da se moramo jako dobro pripremiti. Imali smo taktičkih
problema na sredini, gde bismo trebali biti najjači. Kada smo imali dubinu
nismo imali prekide. Malo smo to kompenzovali igrom u napadu, koje bila tečna i
ako ništa drugo zanimljiva. Radnički je ekipa u usponu, koja svakim danom igra
bolje, iako smo imali dominaciju, Radnički je pokazao da ima dobrog trenera i
veliki potencijal. Na kraju mislim da je rezultatska razlika veća nego što je
razlika u kvalietu dva tima. "
Bojan
Milentijević, trener Radničkog
"Čestitam Meškovu na zasluženoj pobedi.
Imali smo velikih problema u defanzivi, inismo otvorili utakmicu kako je
trebalo. Istrošili smo mnogo snage da bi stigli na dva gola razlike, ali nismo
bili stoprocentntni u završnici. Imamo problem sa rotacijom i tranzicijom.
Moramo da radimo još na određenim aspektima igre kao što su odbrana trećeh i
četvrtog igrača, ali i odbrana 6-0, koju igrači
dugo nisu imali prilike da postave. U nastavku SEHA Lige nadam se
napredku i boljim rezultatima, jer je ovo prva od četiri utakmice koje igramo
kod kuće."
