Race to Cologne going down to the wire
Two draws and two substantial away wins were the outcome of the first leg of the quarter-finals in the Machineseeker EHF Champions League 2022/23. On Wednesday and Thursday, the four participants of the TruckScout EHF FINAL4 2023 in Cologne on 17/18 June will be confirmed.
It was the tough first leg that we expected and we have to give everything again on Wednesday to make it into the EHF FINAL4. Winning against Rhein-Neckar Löwen last Sunday will give us a huge boost and our fans in the GETEC Arena will take care of the rest.
After the draw in Plock, another tough match awaits us in which both teams want to go to the EHF FINAL4. We know that we are playing against a strong opponent, but also we know that we have our chances.
We did a very great job in Kiel during the first leg. We were particularly effective defensively, but we could be better in attack. But four goals advantage after the first leg away is a certain advantage. We need to capitalise on this and continue to play our game, to execute our systems well.
I think that everything is open, we are going to start one more match from 0:0. After one tough game what was here in Veszprém I can expect a really difficult match, because Kielce is a fantastic team. Anyway, that I always say, our team showed so many times his character. Only we have to believe that we can do it!
In the last three to four years we’ve been very consistent. Last season we had some adjustments to do with the new coaching staff but this year the team is doing what he wants to do. We are very professional and always with the desire to win every game.
