11.03.10 - Bundesliga: With Niko for the 22nd consecutive win
Nikola couldn´t play in the last two games for his club because of his knee injury, but probably he will do it tonight, beginning with 20.15 o´clock, against VfL Gummersbach. Will Ilic, Szilagyi and his colleagues have the force to ruin the evening of the German Champions?
The pretended referees manipulation made by THW Kiel in the 2007 final of the Champions League remains just a distasteful rumor for the moment. Despite the image prejudice which the German Team no. 1 suffered, the players have no other choice, but to be as focused as possible for the match tonight. The squad coached by Sead Hasanefendic seems at last to show their real potential: 5 victories and a draw in the second part of the championship plus the qualification in the 1/4 final of the EHF Cup, after they eliminated Magdeburg. "We want to savour the atomosphere in Kiel and we can play relaxed because no one waits for us to win", said diplomatic Hasanefendic.
On the other side, Nikola is both confident and mistrustful: "We feel that we are very strong. The only thing that we fear is ourselves. Without any arrogance, we are aware of what we show, of what a constancy we have. We are serious and concentrated, no matter the opponent. Gummersbach have a very good team, very strong individualists and a super tactician as coach. We will be very mistrustful tonight. " Niko´s knee bothers him not so much anymore, so probably he will get some playing time tonight.
The dispute is not only for Kiel´s coach Alfred Gislason a rendez-vous with his former team, but also for Niko there will be some familiar faces to meet again: VfL´s manager François-Xavier Houlet, Geoffroy Krantz, ex-player from Montpellier and French National Team, Audrey Touzolana from Irvy and Viktor Szilagyi, former teammate byTHW.
