The goalkeeper of Vardar, who for health reasons missed the previous match at Aalborg that the red and blacks lost, is now healthy to be in the team for the match with Kiel in Skopje on Wednesday. Kiel has a results crisis, but Borko says that it should not deceive Vardar

The goalkeeper of RK Vardar Borko Ristovski is healthy and is ready for the match with Kiel tomorrow within the Champions League, and as he says, it will depend on the coach whether he will
defend.

Ristovski was not part of Vardar for health reasons in the previous fifth round during Vardar's visit to Aalborg, which the red and blacks
lost (29-33). He is now in good shape and ready to do his best.

- I had stomach problems and could not travel for the match with Aalborg. But that passed in three days and now everything is fine. I am medically ready to play against Kiel,
but of course, it's up to the coach to defend - says Ristovski.

As for the result crisis in which Kiel is at the moment, according to Borko, Vardar should not hope for that.

- I do not believe that the previous results of Kiel will have any greater impact on what it will show in Skopje. Knowing the German mentality, for sure
Kiel will play to the maximum. What was before will not have much impact. We need to prepare, and how the opponents play is their job - led
Ristovski who thinks that Kiel has several bad results in a row is not bad for Vardar, but ultimately one should not think about it.

- We are preparing for Kiel as for every match. We do not see their form, we focus on playing properly. Their form is theirs
problem. The atmosphere in Vardar is positive despite the two defeats in a row in the Champions League. We are preparing to play a good match with Kiel and try to
make a surprise - says Ristovski, who in the victory against Aalborg in Skopje in the third round, was the hero of the match with 16 successful interventions.

Kiel with a desire for rehabilitation will play against Vardar in Skopje in the seventh round of the Champions League. The German giant last weekend at home narrowly lost to
Magdeburg (27-29) in the Bundesliga is now in third place, and in the previous round of the Champions League at home played only a draw with Pick Szeged. According to the statement
of Kiel captain Domagoj Duvnjak, it is important now for the current German champion to think about future matches.

- We are not looking for excuses for defeat. Life goes on, now we have more matches ahead of us - said Duvnjak. According to the official website of Kiel, in the team
do not expect an easy match in Skopje, although as it is pointed out, Vardar is "only" on the fifth position on the table in group A.

- The team has little time to recover this week. On Tuesday we travel to Macedonia where we play the next important match. We need to win very important
points against Vradar, a team that is strong at home. Vardar is currently "only" in fifth place, but has only two points less than Kiel… - it is said in the announcement for
this match on the website of Kiel. In Group A, Kiel is third with three wins, one defeat and one draw. Vardar is in fifth place with two wins, one draw and
two defeats.
