The last two matches in 2024 will be played by Buducnosti handball players against the same rival - the Danish Esbjerg is the rival in the seventh and eighth rounds, and the first match is tonight at 18:XNUMX in "Morača".
It will be another chance for the women from Podgorica to get their first victory, after they drew in the first six rounds (at home against Djer) and suffered five defeats.
Chosen women Bojana Popović played their last match on October 19, when they lost away to Vipers, and the legendary handball player sees the long break as a handicap...
"During that time, Esbjerg had seven games. No matter how much we try to bring everything closer to the matches through training - that's not it, because we don't have 14 top players in training who will give each other resistance", said Popović.
The goal is for Buducnost to be competitive, in most of the previous matches it was not...
"We will try, as against other teams, to put up as strong a resistance as possible," added Bojana Popović.
Esbjerg has four wins and two losses in the six rounds so far.
"Henny Reystad is their main link in the team. However, we will play our game and want to bring the game into a rhythm that suits us. That's the only way we can deal with them. If we enter the race - then it is difficult. I hope that we will be able to match at least one part of the match and that the girls will improve a bit through this double match", says Bojana.
The performance of the goalkeeper is uncertain Sakura Mound, she was hurt and Ana Popovic.
"Ana was hit hard in the thigh. So, we enter the match without two players. It is important that we start fighting, as we did against Đero. We can deal with everyone and combativeness is what is always required", said the recent head coach of the Montenegrin national team.
Krilo HR Nina Bulatović is aware that Buducnost will face serious challenges against Esbjerg today and next week.
"It is unnecessary to say what kind of team it is, because it is a team constructed to win the Champions League. First of all, we will have to be focused on our game. I think our biggest problem is rotation, because in today's handball it is difficult to maintain continuity for all 60 minutes," said Nina.
With 62 goals, Rejstad is the top scorer in the Champions League this season.
“She's the leader, but she's not the only threat. She scores a dozen goals in every game and of course we need to focus on her the most. I think that every player can break down if we dedicate ourselves to it enough", she concluded Nadja Kadovic.
