Tankoski: We have great chances in Dusseldorf, we are favorites against Motor Zaporizhia
Today from 18.45 the composition of Europharm Pelister will play his fourth game of the season in EHF European League, and the opponent is Motor Zaporozhye.
Due to the Russian aggression against Ukraine, Motor Zaporizhia will host the Macedonian vice-champion in the German city Dusseldorf.
This is a chance for the players of coach Lars Walter to return to their victories, the rival has three defeats so far, and Bitolcani with a result of one victory and two defeats.
Good news for Walter is the return of Tunisian Osama Hosni who will be in the lineup, but it is to be expected that he will not have too much playing time.
– The match against Motor is very important for us, because we will fight with them to advance to the next stage. We are preparing for the opponent from Ukraine, mostly made up of Ukrainian handball players, but I think we are favorites and we have great chances to be happy. Only Ukrainian handball players remained there, with 2-3 foreigners. They are tall and slow and we need to run them over, play our handball and I believe we will not have a problem.
We have many injured handball players, Susi has already been operated on and is rehabilitating, Rudy Seri I think is lost for this season. We have problems with rotation and we have to play the same handball players, 10 players are healthy for both the Macedonian Championship and the European League. It's especially busy these twenty days until the end of the half-season, because we have two games a week. We have to get together, gather strength together, endure these twenty days and everything will be fine - says the handball player of Eurofarm Pelister, Mario Tankoski.
