Vardar coach Stevce Alushkovski was full of praise for the opponent after the defeat at home by Viva Kielce 33:29, within the 7th round of the EHF Champions League. With congratulations to his team, which could hardly have done more with three games in its legs since the beginning of the season, the Macedonian expert recognized and emphasized the qualities of the Polish champion.
-They punished all our mistakes in the attack, which were. Wolf defended our goals, and we didn’t have a solution for the fantastic Alex Dujšabaec on the other side. We managed to get up in the second half and take the lead, but we failed to realize attacks with two more players and missed the opportunity to take the game in the desired direction. Still, I have to congratulate my players on what was shown tonight.
– They were better than us, I have to admit. We had our moments, but not enough to win against an opponent like this. They showed how to respect the ball and how to play in the same rhythm in the 60th minute. When they lead with two or three differences in the second half, it is very difficult to reach them, because thanks to their great experience, they know how to kill the game when it suits them – said Alušovski after the game in SC „Jane Sandanski
