NEXE and Metalurg change positions

NEXE i Metalurg zamijenili pozicije

Nexe - Metalurg 4 14/15

Handball players from Našice have managed to reach a victory against Metalurg (25:19) and are after 17 rounds sixth positioned. Team from Skopje came to Slavonia with new players and coach Červar is trying to make them play better as a team. Key moment of the match has happened in the middle of the first half with Metalurg being unable to score for 10 minutes and by that they have scored only 2 goals in first 20 minutes of the second hald. That all means NEXE's defence is working great which is important ahead of trip to Sweden and a match against Eskilstuna Guif on Sunday in EHF's Cup.                        

Zdenko Kordi, NEXE's coach:

We fully respected Metalurg, team which has system and a coach which knows how to lead a successful team. All in all I am very satisfied. We've decided the match with our defence enough before the end giving us the opportunity to rotate and rest some players.  Congratulations to Metalurg, they are our sport friends so if they need any help we will be available.

Can Celebi, NEXE's player:

We were working very hard this week. It wasn't easy to play in this rhythm especially against excellent team like Melsungen, Guif, Tatran or Metalurg. This victory and this match is important for us, we're very happy.

Lino Červar, Metalurg's coach:

We are in very bad situation having lost many of our important players. We have a very young team now. Beginning of the match was good for us but after that we've simply made too many techincal mistakes. By that NEXE were playing much better in second 30 minutes. Of course, we still do have chance to reach sixth place but it won't be easy.

Borjan Madjovski, Metalurg's player:

We've made lots of technical errors and NEXE were able to use it quite well. They've played a smart match I'd say scoring lots of easy goals. Well deserved victory.
