VIDEO | Analysis: Lazarov and his team showed that they can and are capable
The Macedonian handball team played a draw yesterday with the Hungarian team, which finished fifth at the last European Championship. The point won is a success for the handball players, but we can still regret that we did not start the World Cup with a victory because with a minute left, Macedonia had an attack for +2 but we lost the ball and the Hungarians tied the score at 27-27 through Ligetvari.

"We narrowly missed the win, we had an attack by two points, but we lost, we were afraid of winning. I would attribute that to the inexperience of the players. However, the performance of the Macedonian national team surprised many. Lazarov's decision to schedule and carry out the preparations in Stara Pazova, to get away from all the media pressure, gave results. It is clear that the handball players are more relaxed compared to previous championships. I must emphasize that the best three clubs in Macedonia - Vardar, Pelister and Alkaloid - train well. The appearance of Alkaloid on the handball map inspired other clubs to work harder. Yesterday we saw that this national team can do it. Lazarov chose those players who he believes are the best at the moment, and they showed it on the field," says Sloboden Pechat journalist Stefan Krsteski.
