He had a chance for the Nish team to win the title, but Stanojevic did not finish in Darko Arsic’s net. The great celebration of Sapcan could begin, as they secured the placement in the Challenge Cup.
Vladan Jordović, Coach Metaloplastike, excused himself from Šabac by winning the fourth place and placing in the EHF Celendz Cup. Career continues in Israel.
– I congratulate my colleague Petkovic on everything he has done. Niš is a collection of very high quality players, if you look a little deeper, the team is new, it had to change the game concept, after the injury to Padežanin, the team changed. Play-off was very tough. Just in the club we know how difficult it was to us, because we played with a small player in the spring, we played at a high level of form to Partizan, and then fell on three coupled hosting. We might have got a point more, and then it would look different to the end of the play. We had a lot of injuries. I see that they are accusing us of playing with Vojvodina. We struggled to go to Europe, it was important for me to win. After such calls and nothing provoked insult, it is better for a man to go abroad. There are days when you play bad, well, we fought for our jersey and club. We played for the captain, for the guys who will play in Europe next season. I would like to thank everyone, the public, the town of Šabac, I want all the best Metaloplastics. I will remember the time spent here in a specific way.
Josif Petkovic, coach of Zeleznicar, was short and then he showed disobedience and left the conference.
– I’m proud of my guys that they fought like this. I expected a secret title, but it does not matter. Tomorrow is a new day, it’s life – said Petkovic, who, in the midst of his colleague Vladan Jordovic, left the hall with the words „if you are going to analyze, I’m going.“
Vojvodina is a champion. The Novi Sad team emerged as „ash-phoenix“, in the season in which four coaches changed, in the end, gave a chance to his youth team, Boris Rojevic, who was not easy after four rounds, when they stood on the balance four points. They made the rulers of the Serbian handball team from 2013, however, to rise despite the worst of Milan Jovanovic, they entered five wins in the remaining six rounds, concluding with a triumph over Partizan 20:19. The title remains in Novi Sad
Partizan coach, Nenad Maksic, has sported a defeat and showed that he is real dad when it comes to fair play, at a moment that is not easy …
– Vojvodina deservedly won the title, not only because of today’s victory, but because of all the games in the play. Two things are important. We played badly the first half. It seemed like we got together today. It was bad to look in both directions, plus the defense of Verkić, 13 to the half. Vojvodina has players who have played such games, who decide on the title. In such matches it does not matter who is stronger or faster, but who knows how to play, and there they have Vučka, Milaša, Nadovez, Verkić … They are not wrong, and we had initial technical errors. I have to admit the hard heart, we did not deserve a better result than this. I have to praise the players, the heroics have endured the season. Heroic sumo endured, heroes are true, they will draw lessons, and I will not allow any blame on their account because they do not deserve it.
Boris Rojević, after two months, and almost lost situations, passed through an accelerated lifestyle on the „Lala“ bench. In the end, it paid off. The 38-year-old cup go to young coach from Vrbas …
– I’m in shock after all. I did not even follow the results of Sabac, I asked what was happening in the end, and I heard the previous speaker. This is a handball fairytale, we know what happened to us, that eight players did not train this week, and that the guys played with cracked ligaments. Everyone deserves praise, God has rewarded us for this effort, because we were bleeding. The imperative was to win at home. We can talk about injuries earlier, but when they enter the field. I said we would play better and better as the play-off moved and so it was. From the fourth round, everything went well, „Rojević concluded.
