Prošt: Little things will decidePrimož Prošt is something like the “life insurance” for Frisch Auf Göppingen in the EHF Cup. Signed in January as an interim solution, the Slovenian international (29) became the hero for the fans. Prošt, who had been dismissed by MAHB Montpellier last autumn, was a lucky transfer for the Germans, who will try to defend their title in the EHF Cup this weekend at the EHF Cup Finals in Nantes – but face German powerhouse Rhein Neckar Löwen in their semi.
eurohandball.com talked to Primož Prošt, who just extended his contract until 2016, about his transfer and the chances of his team in Nantes right before the departure to France.
Primož Prošt: No, I didn’t expect it in this way. But I had shown some really good matches right from the start and our fans supported me in a brilliant manner. So it was an interaction of giving and taking from both sides in splendid atmosphere in our EWS Arena.
Primož Prošt: I had some requests from different clubs, but Frisch Auf Göppingen was the only one, which was courageous enough to run the risk with me. I hope that I can return this braveness with good performances in the goal. After a perfect start from both sides in February and March we had a mutual interest to extend the contract.
Primož Prošt: I really like the city and the team, as the whole region is living for handball. Therefore it was my clear wish to stay longer at Frisch Auf.
Primož Prošt: Indeed. International experience, either from Montpellier or the Slovenian national team, is a big advantages and a major help in such top clashes.
Primož Prošt: I am looking forward to play handball again at France. But I honestly have no relationship and bear no reference to the city of Nantes.
Primož Prošt: For us the match vs. Löwen is something like the final already in the semi-final, because they are the strongest team playing at the EHF Cup Finals - despite our huge respect for Holstebro and HBC Nantes. It will be a close and exciting match, in which little things will decide the finalist. Primož Prošt: Of course it is our clear objective to reach the final and to win the title, which would also be terrific for me, who had not been among those who won the title in the previous season. But before dreaming of raising the trophy we have two tough and fully equal matches ahead. TEXT: Björn Pazen / br |
