The Derby Super League of Serbia was played in Nis between the local Zeleznicar and Vojvodina. The winner was a more experienced coach, Josif Petkovic, who has already won the CUP and is now a step away from winning the title, and he is confirmed in the SEHA league next season.
The full hall of Chair welcomed trainer Josif Petkovic as much as victory. Petković did not hide his satisfaction after giving another goal.
– I was not in Serbian handball for a long time. I must say that the grace was entered into the hall, I am extremely grateful to the fans for everything. There were no shouts, sharks, curses, the first holiday of handball, I think the players of both teams saw what it means to be full of hall. I have a lot of heart for everything and of course we won, with all due respect to Vojvodina. I am satisfied with the game. Vojvodina is a toy, perhaps a better team than us when they are complete. All my coaches have problems, I would start talking. I have three kid’s disabled people in the team, they receive an injection, have their teeth pressed and play. We did everything well, and I want them to win Partizan and to socialize and meet through the SEHA League and home championship.
Vojvodina coach Boris Rojevic sees the failure of his team seen in a large number of injured players, but he is pleased with the young players who put a big burden on their backs.
– They deserved to win, there is nothing to add. We have had many problems this year, first of all with injuries, Perhaps the best player of Superlige Jovanovic has been injured, Ostojic also. Milasevic played with a rib injury, Nadoveza was blocked. This is simply our maximum. I am proud of these two boys (Nikolic and Tomic), who fought against the best league team in the 16th and 18th years. I am sure that Vojvodina will give a lot of Serbian handball through these players, but through some titles. I am pleased with the results and I told the players that they should be proud of what they have done so far. Now there is a club that is stronger than us and it needs to confirm in the last round. And we will give everything to win, we will wait for the result from Sabac. If I win, I will call my colleague and congratulate him, said Boris Rojević.
In the last round Metaloplastika and Zeleznicar meet where the point or victory Petkovica brings the title while in the race between Vojvodina and Partizan win will win the second place and SEHA league and possible Titles, depending on the results in Sabac.
