The renowned expert Kasim Kamenica after 28 years, once again sat on the bench Pelister. Former coach of Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro, and coach of many teams in the region, committed to Bitolski the club for four years, a new debut at the 44th international tournament in Struga, where his team suffered three defeats – from Chartres, Boras the fresh and city rivals Eurofarm Jobseeker.
Kamenica Balkan – Handball.com povatku talked about their beloved club’s ambitions in the near and distant future, and at the beginning of the interview revealed that he would be the last engagement in the coaching career.
Renova has long been my desire. My heart told me to be here to finish my career, and here, it will happen. Pelister will be my last club. Earlier there was some serious signal that cooperation is feasible, until this year. After my bad experience in Turkey last season, with a lot of effort, we managed to realize my return to Bitola. We set up a concept for the development team. The whole story is included the mayor, who has helped a lot. Part of the shares of the football club was sold Pelisterka so that the situation will be somewhat easier when finances are concerned. We made a new team, completed it, create a collection that will be able to perform well on a daily basis, which was not the case. In previous years the fund was a small player, but was more improvisation than a serious and systematic work. I am happy that this is now the epilogue – not coming to Pelister to build a name, but to finish my career.
What kind of things did you find and what you want?
Everything has to be on the amateur level, the players themselves are formed relationships. My arrival was to change fundamentally – the volume of work, intensity and demands of the game. We started the tournament in Struga, some improvements are visible, but there is a lot of work.
It’s not more to the Pelister Bitola has not handball city to the extent that it used to be, but we have the motivation to make a strong team and return its former glory. The ultimate goal is SEHA league, while improving conditions in the hall because the requirements are very high. We are aware that we have in the Vardar and Metalurg fierce competition, but you can see that the participants of the regional competition often change, so it is possible and affordable epilogue for us, if you are ready to welcome their chance.
What time is possible to achieve the goal?
We did not specify now is important for us to be among the four teams in Macedonia that učestvojemo in European cups to the first part we play at least four euro match that in the spring we play play-off domestic championship, the Vardar and Metalurg. With the return of the audience on the stands of our rooms, these are the results that will satisfy us for now.
Do you feel that your return back and handball euphoria in Bitola?
-Yes, It started small, people stop me on the street, there are things: Although it is difficult to compare the time and generations, but slowly awakens desires. I am aware that a little wrong in order to spark a handball in Bitola caught fire again – let’s start from the three victories would have brought 3,000 people in the hall, which we are at present satisfied, for starters.
Is the squad for next season is complete?
-Yes, The team is based on the national handball players, we have 16 roster players equal, and the two men who will compete for the first team. Our goal is to establish a strong school to start as soon as possible to produce players. This segment has recently devastated. We want to offer these sponsors in the market, it is not enough that only the municipality is the financier of the club. We need to impose the good work, good results. We already have some signs of prosperity in this sphere, Pelisterka be more involved in the story. Bitola has a good, healthy companies, and I hope that we will find a common language with them.
SORRY WHAT SILJAN MICEVSKI not on our side …
As a new force makednoskog handball imposes Eurofarm Rabotnik, other bitolski SuperLiga, which has high ambitions. Will the new city rivalry come in handy?
It’s something new, it already feels rivalry. I am sorry that Siljan Micevski is not on our side – it’s a great handball official who has in recent years grown into a big businessman. Surely that would have its financial potential was very important in making all this what I have just stated. With him on protiničkoj side will be harder. I hope a healthy rivalry. Pelister has a much greater tradition and support of the fans. We have our own concept, they’re mine, I just want to get this game just does not degenerate into something negative, I want to makednoski handball except Skopje, Bitola and gets derby. But only on a healthy basis.
Are you still get an offer this summer?
It was, but nothing in the context of the project, which is only interested in me, and nothing that could override my emotions to Pelister. In previous years did not create the conditions to come back, but now everything right. We constantly mention my return, but only this year coincide interests.
BABIĆ the mistakes FROM POLAND
You’ve followed a handball tournament in Rio de Janeiro. How do you comment on the outcome of the Balkan selection, Slovenian and Croatian, ie. them from falling in the quarterfinals?
I have to say that the scope of Slovenia placement in major competitions, placing in eight limit, or an objective result. There is no quality medal. When they arrived at the feet of teams that play good, shallow 6-0 zone, such as Germany and Denmark, they were refused on the wall. No guard, without guard ogoroman must make an effort to outplay such a defense to break through or passes the pivot. That’s the hard way. You saw the match with Germany, they lost three points but missed their four or five goals from nine meters. Quite the the outcome of the Mačkoušeka Cehtea and without them they had a big gap. To be sure, the Slovenes are masters to outplay wild, aggressive defense, they were technical and tactically well-trained. They had a good atmosphere, but it was not enough. I think that their presence on the sixth very good.
It seemed that Croatia is growing from match to match, and then came the defeat in the most important match – the quarterfinals …
S but the tournament still reach problems, „a game“, as Croatia had problems with Poland in the first half, when he received 18 goals. Croatia, which for years has built all its successes in the defense. Defensive wore them throughout the tournament, and then they fell in one game, and the most important. You can play the entire tournament flawlessly, danger is always lurking on a curve. Želko Babic is my great friend, he was the player but I think he repeated the mistake it had made in the semi-final match with Spain at the European Championships in Poland last winter – after exhausting the phenomenal victory over the host in the quarterfinals, took a 5-1 defense . To play a good 5-1 defense, the players have to be perfectly ready mentally, to perform individual tasks. They were unable to do so after a hard previous match. A better option is to play with a 6-0 prikiriju certain weaknesses. They just repeat the mistake – after the phenomenal victory over France and Denmark, played 40 minutes against 5-1 defense Talanta Dujšebaeva who is a great master of attacking such a zone. I think this is a fundamental mistake, the fact that Croatia of leaving the scene tandem Matosevic – Losert, no keepers to fulfill their ambitions. Handicapped in comparison to other large selection. Omeyer the key game still has 18 defense – Croatian goalkeepers do not.
A bad 5-1 defense had negatively affected the Croats in the second half with Poland, and this is clearly seen. However, another mistake was made when they returned to the set at 6-0, after the pitch remained lower Bielecki toys Kozlina, who could not stop him. I was supposed to do this role Kopljar high, which would surely make a greater problem the best Polish player.
-Remember Goluže, he always had the problem of inability in the finals, she comes to senior and youth teams. These were his personal problems that he could not cope. A Croatia has always had a selection of the very top, but I may be too subjective look at it. For me, Croatia ba any competition favorite for the finale -. analyzed the Kamenica is the end of the conversation.
