The derby match of the SEHA Gazprom South Stream Wednesday will be played in Veszprem, where are coming Belarussian champions, Meshkov Brest. Croatian coach on the bench of the Belarus team, Željko Babić highly praised the quality of the next rival, calling them “the best team in Europe”:
– Veszprem are the best European team in my opinion. They have two strong players on every position. They run a lot, play strong defense. They didn’t lose a single match this season. The team virtually has no weaknesses. I expect that they will play on EHF CL’s F4 this season. We will have to change concept of our game. We will be without injured Karačić, Kamshyk and Vukić, but also without Nikulenkau. He feels the pain, so he will stay in Brest to make some examinations. We’ve lost three players from the back line, but we will fight, no doubt about that – concluded Babić.
Match will start at 18hrs.
The second match of the Day between PPD Zagreb and RK Metalurg is canceled.
