The! EHF Champions League in the new format with 28 teams, divided by quality into A and B, respectively, C and D group. Unlike previous years, the best European clubs will not be able to play against the „bin punching bag“, and so the excitement is growing from the first round that brings a couple of great challenge. One of them is a match PPD Zagreb and Kila Thursday from 19 o’clock in the Arena Zagreb, which eventually opened the door for the most successful Croatian team.
– Kil welcome addition to one I’d say pretty good atmosphere. The first two matches in the SEHA league raised our confidence and although we had a little trouble with NEXE, against the favored Meshkov Brest we have shown that this season will be a very tough nut to crack. Against the Russians, we confirmed the good form, and it is my opinion that the general public after a long, long time very confident in our capabilities and to all a little hope to the great Kiel once again could fall in the Arena. Coaching staff and players have always believed in their own capabilities, but it seems to me that universal climate has changed and that Kiel has begun with the belief that most of them can and must win. For years it was simply unthinkable. Can we lose of Kiel? Of course you can, they are still a very large and serious team but I am of the opinion that it would be difficult to lose. Do you know why? Because the Port and teammates leave hearts on the court and because they will have the full support of the Arena. If it so happens I believe that at the end we celebrate – in the introduction to the coach first Plinarsko society Zagreb Veselin Vujovic.
– The quartet, which is in Belarus ended the infusion still was not feeling the best, and distortion of the ankle joint has Šebetić Luka. He has not trained a few days, and today should start with training and in the event that he could not because of minor injuries occur against Kiel then would such a situation a lot of frustrated plans. In any case we are ready, we can not wait to go game, we look forward to full Arena and all together we desire and expect a good result which would have been great to enter the season as far as the Champions League – said the coach of Croatian champions Veselin Vujovic.
