Croatia’s expert staff works without standing – Discipline, return and defense!

The awakening is at 06.45, and at 7.00 the first group of players leaves for training, half an hour later, the second group begins with exercise. A little run, a little gym for the awakening of the organism on the eve of breakfast, at 08:30 hours. Then go to another training session, starts at 10 am and lasts until noon. Lunch is at 13:00 and then obligatory afternoon break until 16.30 …

– Vacation is just as important as a strenuous training – once again reminds Cervar of the well-known legality of professional sport.

From 16:30 to 17:00 hours, preparations are scheduled on the eve of evening training (interviewing, watching videos of previous exercises), which lasts from 18 to 20 hours. Dinner is at 9 pm, then free time until 11.30 pm, when it goes to bed.

Cervar insists on creating a team spirit, so he wrapped up hotel posters with „Discipline, Return, Defense“. The players, I can not turn to one side without being received by Lin’s message and a call to communion!

– Without it there is nothing, without team spirit, we can already forgive today with a good result. We have to be disciplined, concentrated, organized, ready always to lay our back on one another. It is especially important in this situation when we are not complete on preparations and we are waiting for our „Germans“, as well as the return of injured players – says Cervar and points out an interesting one:

– In the dressing room, I have six or seven club European champions, but as a national team, we have never won the European title. And this is a terrible motive, indescribably enhanced by the knowledge that it is playing in our homeland, in front of our fans, who will create „hell“ for every opponent and they will carry us to victory. But we have to remain modest, there must be no self-esteem, nor asteronymy. Four details are the most important in these preparations – courage, dedication, renunciation, and responsibility; every handball player must have, but also to show – Cervar is clear

And not all would be left with only a letter on paper, it was best seen on training. There is no rescue for anyone.

– It’s a model I’m trying to put on, this co-operation and interdependence between selectors and players, a tendency for that interaction, which will definitely bring a positive shift. Thus, a friendly relationship is created, but, of course, to a certain extent, it must still be known who is the boss, says Cervar, who in practice often speaks with loud curses, interrupting the actions and asking for their repetition.

If this woman reads to me, she’ll tell me again that she’s embarrassed. But I can not oppose myself, all alone in this business, my desire for a great result is immeasurable and sometimes I lose patience. I want a lot, as soon as I do not save myself, and the gods or the other. I want the players at each training to work like a match. Fortunately, my players know that there is nothing personal, it’s my style, as it is – it is, but it’s mine!

And the guy whose face the players least least want to see at the moment is definitely – a fitness coach. Pero Kuterovac great physically prepared Croatian Waterpolo in the march to the World Gold, now he wants to do it with handball players.

And the guy whose face the players least least want to see at the moment is definitely – a fitness coach. Pero Kuterovac great physically prepared Croatian Waterpolo in the march to the World Gold, now he wants to do it with handball players.

– The players came to the preparations from the competition period, so in this first part of the preparation we consciously demolished their form in order to work on strengthening the basic motor skills. For now, everything is going according to the plan, except Filip Ivić, no one is injured. Now players are „heavy and hard“, this is normal when it comes to endurance. It’s not easy for them, but they make every effort, „says Kuterovac.

This hardest preparation part will last until New Year, then the torture stops and upon arrival in Split will work on refreshing and creating the desired form. Times, there are not many, but no one mentions it as a handicap, let alone asking for an alibi or some kind of excuse.

– We need to be smarter and wiser than others and without any discussion to do everything possible. There is also the problem of the different levels of physical fitness of the players, so we are working in groups to bring everything into balance – says Kuterovac, offering a comparison with the preparation of water polo players and handball players:

– The differences are huge, these are two completely different sports, but the main difference is that with water polo players I always have six weeks for preparation, so we start from scratch. This is the ideal time, during this period, you can prepare a completely unprepared man for the greatest efforts. And this work with handball players for me is something new, a great challenge and a good school, an invaluable experience will be gained after these preparations.

And the most important question is whether Croatia will be ready for the most difficult efforts in the upcoming EURU, Kuterovac has fired away without a single second of thoughts:

– Yes! By the way, be sure of that.

Interesting is the optimism of Croatian coaches. Thus, for example, goalkeeper coach, once great goalkeeper Vlado Sola, told Lini Cervar that he can count on 15 goalkeepers per game.

– I said 15 defense? Yes, at least 15. Seriously, why would not that be so?

For a long time there was not enough defense of Croatian goalkeepers?

– And not so, there was a match with 15 or more defenses. There were, the truth, the worse days, the matches with smaller defenses, but you will see that our goalkeepers (Stevanovic, Pesic, Alilovic, will see whether Ivic will recover) on EURU will be excellent. Defending in top clubs, they constantly meet with players who will now be on the opposite side, so I do not see the reason for some kind of big respect or negative backbone. Therefore, the defense that we play will enable our goalkeepers to point out. We will not be in an open zone that easily shoots, and then the opponent hits the open shot with seven meters. Our defense will be closed and in such a system, goalkeepers have good chances to defend their shots from outside positions. It’s synergy, the goalkeeper can not be good if the defense is bad – says the Sola.

Loud music is a constant companion of the training of the Croatian national team, it is obvious that players are more likely to work hard in the rhythm of electronic sounds, rather than listening to the top of their steps in the parquet. In general, there are quite a lot of differences in training than before, say, 15 years, the school confirms this:

– We have to adapt to the new weather, which carries some of its postulates. Everything has evolved, we have to keep up with everyday life, otherwise our time would quickly be overlooked. Today, the use of high technology in sports is a normal and common thing, it can not do some kind of fad, and we should not be surprised by new ways of working. Handball players have progressed, today’s goals are different than before, so it is logical that the defense technique must be changed.

And what are the balls? Can the handball happen to be odd balls, or have some other characteristics that are more appropriate for players or goalkeepers, such as, for example, a football case?

– There were such cases. For the goalkeepers, for example, the perfect ball was played at the Olympic Games in Athens. Afterwards they introduced some two-tier balls, red-blue, and it was very difficult to estimate its speed in the flight, such a ball certainly more suited to the shooters. And now I will reveal to you the secret that has been circulating handball circles for years. There is a company that produces balls of a larger scale for the Scandinavian market. Why? Some research has shown that Scandinavian handball players have longer fingers than others, said the School.

A game of emotions?

Croatian national team prepares for EURO and important first match against Serbia is played on January 12th at 8:30 pm and the fact that the Expert Staff counts over 12 members speaks enough about modern and serious approach and preparation!
