Scouts’ handball players are preparing for the continuation of the season, and coach Ivan Džolić believes that his team can meet expectations, especially on the European stage, where last year the Scouts recorded a historic placement in the semi-finals of the EHF European Cup.
They were placed in front of the Scouts’ handball players this season as well the greatest possible challengesbut the team went through certain changes in the playing staff this winter.
Reinforcements in the ranks of Scouts
The signing of the best player of the Ljubuški Scouts, Diana Češka, for RK Zagreb he did not surprise anyone, with the fact that the Croatian representative will change the dressing room only at the end of the season.
Diano will stay with us until the end of the season, he will only go to Zagreb next, and we managed to hire him two new players with which, I hope, we will get an additional impulseDžolić said in an interview with Fena.
He pointed out the signature of the former representative of Montenegro Fahrudin Melić (41), former player of Vogošća, Nexe, Chambery, PSG, Gorenje, Zrinjsko, Sarajevo Bosnia.
To Fahrudin Melić one should not waste too many words. Anyone who follows handball at all knows who he is. He will give us a dose of experience and help the young guys to mature as soon as possible. We got one a real personality, but also a great player, emphasized Dzolic.
Second reinforcement it arrived from Slovenian Krka, and it is about the pivot Đorđe Ratković (23), a former Leotar player, a young player with solid experience playing in the handball Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The two of them should help in achieving the set goalsand they are proverbially the largest possible in Ljubuški.
The hunt for the 12th championship title
Scout will enter the second part of the championship with first position on the table and four points ahead of the first runners-up, Sloga and Vogošća from Doboj. Ljubušac will hunt in the spring the twelfth title of the champion of Bosnia and Herzegovinaand expectations are high after the last season in which the double crown was won and a historic performance on the European stage was recorded.
Challenges in the domestic championship and in Europe await us very soon. Already February 7 in Vogošća we play the first round of the continuation of the championship, and then on February 15 in Ljubuški in the 1/8 finals of the EHF European Cup we play against Trimo Trebnja, currently ranked first in the Slovenian championshiphe emphasized strategist Ljubušakwho specifically referred to the European challenge before his team.
Srna lost until the end of the Euros, Sigurdsson called Ljubušak instead
Namely, Džolić won last season with Izviđač placement in the semi-finals one of the EHF cups, which Ljubuški had been waiting for for more than twenty years.
Previously, in 2005, Scout made it to semi-finals of the Cup cup winners where he was stopped by Ademar Leon, so that in March of last year Izviđač played in the semifinals of the EHF European Cup, in which he could not play against AEK.
Because we set the bar so high last year, we’re kind of expected to keep doing that great things. However, it is waiting for us much harder work this spring compared to last, when we played against Cypriot Anorthosisemphasized Džolić.
The coach of the Scouts thinks it’s how it is Trimo Trebnje is a far better team.
As far as quality is concerned, Ljubuška is also coming the strongest team in the last few yearsso we can expect a great handball show. We don’t give upwe will show what we have been doing this winter, sportingly hope to advance to the quarterfinalsDzolic concluded.
