Ciudad going for the victory

Petar Metlicic will be there tonight in the Color Line Arena. The Croatian comments on the game.

Ciudad going for the victory

Ciudad Real are ready for the semi-final second leg. They were even somewhat lucky that a good test match was scheduled for this week in the Asobal League as Ciudad met Almeria on Tuesday.

The Dujshebaev team won without problems and kept the first place in the classification. The coach rested some players, including Urios and used this game to prepare for the Hamburg match. Rutenka and Enterrios appeared to be in top form, which is promising. Just as the fact that only Chema Rodriguez will be missing in Hamburg for injury. Urios Fonseca and Metlicic will be in the Color Line Arena.

“We must go for the victory”

Petar Metlicic thinks that his team must put all their effort in it: “We must go for the victory,” he says.

The Croatian believes that they do not have to think about the score:

“It is very important not to lose control of the game because we have experience enough to clinch the qualification”.

The key of the final victory can be in the players mind for Metlicic: “We need a winning mentality. We will not defend our advantage and the first 15 or 20 minutes will be very hard for us. They will be very motivated and we must be stronger,” said the Croatian player.
