On Sunday, from 17:00, the handball players of Izviđa will host the Slovenian team Trimo Trebnje on their field in the round of 16 of the EHF European Cup.
Trimo Trebnje is coming to the City Sports Hall in Ljubuški, which Ljubušak coach Ivan Džolić points out has certain advantages, but emphasizes that his team will not be without chances either.
When we compare Slovenian and BiH. handball, the advantage is on the side of Trebnje. However, if we look at the results in European competitions, the advantage is on our side. I think the Scout must show his guard, especially when we know about the “hunger” of our players when it comes to big opponents, Džolić said at a press conference ahead of the meeting with the Slovenians.
For Trimo Trebnje points out that they are very fast team whose most dangerous player is the center outside Marco Kotar, and he singled out an experienced goalkeeper Urbana Lesjaka and the right outer one Timotej Grmšek
They have a breadth of experienceit is certainly on their side. On the other hand, we have been undefeated in all European matches for the last two years in Ljubuški. It will surely be a very interesting and intense match, Dzolic added.
Coach Skuta believes that the key to the game will be stopping the quick transition and setting up the defense quicklyand the Croatian national team member is also on that trail Diana Cesko and experienced Fahrudin Melićwho arrived in Ljubuška this winter.
Czech Republic, which is in January won the bronze medal with the Croatian national team at the European Championship in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, he emphasized that the dressing room is maximally motivated for the new European challenge.
In our hall we ask ourselvesthis is our house. Let’s go headfirst, try to win by as big a margin as possible. We don’t need a special motive, we all can’t wait for the game, said Ćeško, who signed a contract with Croatian champions Zagreb this winter, but will play in his home club until the end of the season.
Former representative of Montenegro Fahrudin Melić (40) should give Scout an additional boost in the continuation of the European campaign.
We have to think like a club that has a tradition and serious results in Europewe should not shy away from the role of favorites in the first game. As for the opponent, I know coach Branko Tamše very well, who is a great friend of mine. I think he and everyone at the club know very well where they are coming fromsaid Melić.
Izviđač enters the continuation of the European campaign on the wings of the success achieved last season, in which the double crown was won and placement in the semi-finals of the EHF European Cup was won.
