In the first round of the play-off, Zeleznicar welcomes Metaloplastics. The match will be played at the elementary school Duško Radović on April 3 at 18: 30h.
As he finished last year’s play-off Nish team opens this year the same way – a match with the Sabac team. Defeat in the city of Sava last year cost Tito’s titles, and now from the Nis team say that they have no right to the cix.
We honestly do not know the true strength of the league. The competition for which we have prepared and which we have talked since the beginning of the season starts. Metalloplasty is coming to us, one promising team, which finished in the second position, played great and had an impressive score. They have several high quality players, two players who were part of our national team at the World Cup. They have Babic, who was with us, great pivotmen, Djukic on the left back is also an excellent player, Vorkapic’s best player, the shooter of the league. So that a serious teammate is playing a lot of rucksack with modern handball and will be a very inconvenient opponent. I think we are better, but we need to show it on the field. In any case, we are preparing ourselves and would not have any additional explanations for a worse result, says coach Veselin Vujovic.
Železničar and Vojvodina stand out as the main favorites for the title, but one should not forget the Dinamo from Pančevo, who lurks from the shade.
The role of the favorite is on the old Vojvodina. We played four times this season and we were not able to get them one, they beat us three times, we picked up the draw once. They won the Cup, play reliever, have good logistics, five champions in the lead and learned how to win titles. Dynamo is a strong team that will be a very inconvenient host. It will be very difficult to score points on the side. Because this is a factor of the pressure of the audience, the trials … Some of them have no scenes that often happen on our courts are something that does not allow you to feel like a coach and to feel comfortable in all of this, but what to do. I think even Nis is in a big gap with a great beautiful, wide hall, where the audience is quite separate from the field and where people behave the most cultured in the world, but we must all win and fight it. We have made a good compensated composition that can play very well and I am sure that we have the quality and the power to be straight. I would love if the champion would be for example with three defeats which would show that the rest of the league has quality.
Many obstacles were experienced by the Nis team in the previous period. Since the beginning of the season, the railroad has changed the gaming structure. Vujovic points out that he had to lead himself in different ways and that he did something from something, adding that even now the situation is not the best.
The circumstances under which we were working here and the problems that were once in the club, when some players left, some came. In the end, I did not manage to get what I asked for from the beginning, a serious midfielder – the organizer of the game that would control it. I think that we have a great compensated team, we will have to rely on the young players of Milosavljevic and Pavlovic, which is very often on glass legs. I have good goalkeepers, we have a long line-up. What we have at this moment is the best and the strongest for me. It is a good team and I consider it to be the champion of the state, concluded Vujovic.
