On Saturday, Budućnost T-Mobile will play their first official match in Morača this season. In third round of WRHL Montenegrins will host Gjorče Petrov.
Montenegrin and Macedonian Champions have rarely met in official matches. Their last official encounter was long time ago, back in 1998 in group of Champions League. Budućnost T-Mobile defeated Gjorče Petrov in Podgorica 32:25.
Budućnost won both matches played so far in WRHL and Gyula Zsiga wants to continue their winning stream. In Montenegro team new captain Marija Jovanović is in brilliant form, goalkeeper Mirjana Milenković is becoming real specialist for 7m shots and entire team is determined to present themselves to their audience in best possible way.
Macedonian team surprisingly lost the match in Zagreb, but managed to defeat Krim Mercator in Skopje, showing their form is rising. Eduarda Amorim and Jelena Popović are amongst five best scorers of the WRHL and they will lead Macedonian artillery in tomorrows match.
Zsiga, Ambroš and Kindl on Press Conference
Budućnost T-Mobile held Press Conference prior to the match with Coach Gyula Zsiga and new reinforcements Tihana Ambroš and Gabriela Kindl.
Gyula Zsiga, Coach of Budućnost T-Mobile:
„The truth is we don't know much about Macedonian team. We even did not find video so we did not have opportunity to watch them play in this season. So we really don't know what to expect. I know sisters Amorim, Popović and Pecevska are good players.
Good thing for us is that Tihana recuperated, she trains with the team again and already showed impressive performance in Ljubuški, so we can count on her too. Also Anđela started to train after injury and soon will start to play also.“
Tihana Ambroš, pivot of Budućnost T-Mobile:
„I know Gjorče Petrov from the past seasons, from the Champions League matches. Last time I played against them was in quarterfinals of Champions League in season 2005/2006. My team Valencia back then passed to CL semifinal only because of more goals scored away. It was very close match. So, they are always tough team to play against. Anyway, with support of our fans I hope we will be the winners in the end.“
