Buducnosti handball players face one of the key matches of the season. A win or a draw against Thiringer leads to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, a sixth away defeat would postpone the decision until the last round of the main stage, when Vardar arrives in "Morač", and the vice-champion of Germany visits Metz.
The showdown in Nordhausen is scheduled for tomorrow at 14 p.m., maybe it's time for the "blues" to finally end the black streak on the sidelines and decide their own fate...
"Qualifying in the quarterfinals would be a great success, considering the youth of this team and all the problems from the beginning of the season. At the start, we counted on Suzana Lazović, and then Ema Ramusović was injured, and now Marta Batinović. This season was planned that as many players as possible get space, as well as take responsibility, which is what is happening," emphasized Dragan Adžić.
In the 2nd round of the main stage in "Morača", Buducnost easily defeated tomorrow's rival (29:21), but the Germans are much more uncomfortable on their home field.
"We know that Tiringer plays significantly differently at home than away from home. The match against Metz and the 29 goals conceded show what awaits us there. But that's why we're here, and that's what we want - to play as strong games as possible, against as strong opponents as possible," he added. coach of the "blues".
The women from Podgorica were defeated 24:23 by Ferencvaros seven days ago, but they were excellent in defense. The defense of Darla Zokebi de Paula was lacking for the victory and the placement in the quarterfinals, as the ball passed through her hands several times in the decisive moments.
"I am happy with the defense as it was against Ferencvaros, a very demanding team offensively. I hope that we will have that level of play in front of our goal continuously. I believe that we can match Thiringer with our defense and calm down the energy of the Germans, which they will certainly have in such an important match." .
The most trophy-winning Montenegrin club would probably suit a defeat with a difference of seven goals or less, or eight if it shakes the rival's net 22 times, because it is hard to believe that Tiringer can avoid defeat in Metz in the last round. Adžić does not think about that solution, he is only interested in the final goal.
"It would be a success to reach the quarter-finals in any way, but we will never dwell on the difference. We want to continue to grow and for some players to be better than in previous matches, but also to be better as a team away from home," Adžić concluded. .
