Teams ready for last stop on road to Budapest
It is crunch time for the eight teams in the EHF Champions League Women 2022/23 quarter-finals. The all-decisive second leg this weekend will confirm the lineup for the EHF FINAL4 Women 2023 in Budapest on 3/4 June.
We are behind with six goals, anything is possible in sport, so this is the attitude that we will bring to Kristiansand. We want to play a good game, we want to win if it is possible, but the most important is to develop from game to game, and this game in Vipers is going to be an important step for us in our way to get better.
I am proud we managed to come back from six goals behind. It was a good team effort. This weekend we have to be even more preventive on their shooters and have to be more efficient in the attack. It will for sure not be an easy game, and we will have to be better than in Odense. The key would be a strong, aggressive defence and quick fastbreaks.
I think it is going to be even more complicated than the first game, because FTC will have nothing to lose. They will do everything to come back and erase the six goals. And we have to be ready for that. The match will start for us at zero vs zero.
We have already won the Romanian supercup and the national championship, we are still in the run in the Romanian cup and the Champions League, and qualifying for the EHF FINAL4 remains one of the most important objectives. I would like to thank all of our fans and I know it will be a full arena on Sunday and I believe that with the help of our supporters we can manage the comeback.
