Alkaloid to « run » to final, Bitola demonstrated handball talent (2)

Goran Gjorgonoski’s column in two sequels

Long in the match Alkaloid was in egal or mild negative, in a subordinate position and there was no solution to the guests attack, but it was incredibly patient and persistent, looking for a solution, waiting for the galec and Kizo to « pip » the ball, to help the zone, which was a constant 7-6 player. In parallel, he ran equally with a Scandinavian rival, waiting for the moment when Marko and Tino and Galec finally merged several defenses in the series, creating a solid difference, which can mean a lot, and it can literally mean nothing.

In honor of the Passover and my father’s name, and strongly motivated by the festive performance of our Alkaloid in the EF Cup semifinal, against strong Runar Sandrerfjor, led by the living legend of the world handball, Bjarte Mirhol, against our team, Cologne, after a long break, was « caught » for the keyboard. (Over) many events, competitions, situations, for less than a month since I wrote the last column « After the Romanians », and I have the feeling of having spent a year.

Due to the volume of the material, I decided to write this column in two consecutive sequels.

The second sequel starts. . .

Simba, Martin and Silva have successfully replaced handball Bruce Lee

And finally, what’s the most. Runar Sandrerfjor is Alkaloid’s latest obstacle to play in a European handball final. A Norwegian team, which was expected to demonstrate seriously fast handball, with minimal technical errors, but was unexpectedly traced by a Macedonian team.

Unknown was Norwegian Runar, at least for the general public. With a reference to the elimination of the main favorite Olympiakos, in a convincing way, with +10 at home in the Finals and with a coach in a serious handball character like Bjarte Mirhol, the Norwegians came in as a mild favorites, not for the first duel, but of course for the final result.

The match on Sunday continued. Runar with a classic 6-0, Team zone relatively shallow to Alkaloid’s « shooters », not too high, but dense and firm, demanded a lot of work for every goal, though as a mitigating circumstance, the first goalkeeper of the guests « did not make a ball » in the first part of the match. Alkaloid may have been expected to have a problem in the attack against Scandinavian 6-0 zone, but the team is without Marko Mitev, especially as one has to keep in mind the dependence created by handball Bruce Lee. Simba, Silva and Ivanoski from Ohrid are the ones who carry the burden, although in such a situation the « leftists » Martin H 2 have the right and opportunity to consume balls more than usual. If we told Simba what we had, impressed by his performances, in this situation, as Factor C in Alkaloid’s victory we highlight the team’s winter reinforcement, Martin Ivanoski, the guy who « jumped » directly into the fire where  » « There is a strong leg, but he does not know how to train, » Martin’s departure from Bitola said. Lazarov, although serious torture of the little ones, with remarks and confirmation that he « must learn to train », putting him on the edge of a burglary to find out whether the guy has a character for great things, is still aware that Ivanoski justified expectations and in a situation where Mitev is out, Alkaloid, Alkaloid, He showed that Martin and against Runar, using the quality and in the function of tactical placement.

Persistence, patience, struggle and physical fitness for +5 before the rematch

On the other hand, Mirhol had a problem with the host zone, which fluctuated 5-1 with Stojkovic and Jonov as a front, up to 6-0 and back, but to some extent had no problem with Alkaloid’s goalkeepers, who had not « drowned » the ball for a long time. Wanting to lower Lazarov’s zone, and to give Rambo’s opportunity to decide nine meters or to solve the excellent beer, to the assistance of the backs, Mirhol reached a 7-6 formation, for which Lazarov had no solution for a long time.

Long in the match Alkaloid was in egal or mild negative, in a subordinate position and there was no solution to the guests attack, but it was incredibly patient and persistent, looking for a solution, waiting for the galec and Kizo to « pip » the ball, to help the zone, which was a constant 7-6 player. In parallel, he ran equally with a Scandinavian rival, waiting for the moment when Marko and Tino and Galec finally merged several defenses in the series, creating a solid difference, which can mean a lot, and it can literally mean nothing. We have seen it before, and we know and have experienced in the past, when the Scandinavians were guest and when we were visiting them. In any case, once again it has been confirmed that Alkaloid is a highly trained team, a well -physically prepared, tactically patient and seriously playing.

Alkaloid in Norway to continue running or « ball under the jersey »?

The question now is, whether to run in Norway or to « put a ball under the jersey »?

Alkaloid has players who can « step on the ball », but the question is whether the referees will allow it, as at times in Avtokomanda and whether the team can now, after a long time forcing fast handball with many goals, « raising » and playing like Metalurg in Lino’s time.

One thing is certain, Lazarov will have to find a solution to the opponent’s 7-6 formation and hope for a better goalkeeper.

For the final to play in Boris, when the semifinals hit an extended weekend. And Avtokomanda, in a situation where the goal justifies, justified the role of a « good » host of the Norwegians. And they waited for the finals, probably the Greeks. It is all about « Boris » and the promotion of our wonderful sport.

Congratulations to the team and cheer for the new Mac Handball final.

Bitola has shown talent, on the move is the system that should « produce » a senior player

As we wait for the Alkaloid final in the European Cup, Pelister’s cadets or youth, with the final tournament in Cologne for players under 18, have made a great result and even greater promotion of Bitola in handball Europe. Any honor for Memic and Mitrevski, the way the result was achieved, with many players involved in rotation, where everyone contributed and felt useful, and thus the transfer could be seen by the team’s cohesion, something that many teams in the Super League do not have. If we thought before the tournament that Pelister is Alem Hodzic and the others (although the numbers behind the Bosnian are impressive), we can now conclude that Pelister has two, a high -heeled, solid technically underpinning goalkeepers for the perspective, some modern -day « mid -mid -flights », who can play a medium -sized and 1st -hand. With half a Super League teams, beer that can in two directions, if they were physically better prepared, the left wing that should be forced to Petka in defense, etc.…

We wish them to be quality through the system of youth, through a couple to the first team, but a little fear of the fact that since I know about myself and the sport, Macedonia has lost the « children » at the age of 17-20.

Hope something has changed in the meantime.

Congratulations once again on the placement in Cologne, where the favorites do not go under the plan.

PS I read these days that no player from those in Romania was taken to the national team, generation 2006. Do not let them shake too much, work, training, dedication, focus, ambition and will get everything in place. (NO) Participation in youth selections, in relation to the senior national team and handball means absolutely nothing!
