25.02.2021, 10:00 GROUP B REVIEW: Home debut of new coach Ivica Obrvan against Veszprém ends with another defeat |
||
It was definitely a much better performance compared to their 25:37 defeat in the first leg, but again, HC PPD Zagreb (without injured goalkeeper Matej Asanin) were left with no chance against their old rivals Telekom Veszprém HC, who took their tenth victory in the 14th duel with Zagreb. While the hosts remain on zero points after the 28:35 on Thursday night, Veszprém are confirmed as runners-up behind Barcelona. In the current projections, they would face Vardar in the play-offs. In Round 13, no home side took a victory in this group, Nantes’s 24:24 was the only home point. GROUP B HC PPD Zagreb (CRO) vs. Telekom Veszprém HC (HUN) 28:35 (11:17)
Third coaches tries his luck at Zagreb After Igor Vori was sacked quite early in the season, Vlado Sola had taken over HC PPD Zagreb - but the former goalkeeper could not change the downswing and parted company with the Croatian record champions last week. Since the away match at Nantes, Ivica Obrvan has been at the helm of PPD - for his second stint after 2010-2012. He took over PPD right after he had started to work as national team coach of Bosnia-Herzegovina, which he will continue do alongside.
