Eger’s Champions League curse continues while Olympiacos retains hope on a miracleAfter the new targets set by the club management of ZF-Eger there is more pressure than ever around the Champions League encounters. However, since the 6-11 home defeat against Primorje a month ago, new coach Norbert Dabrowski appeared to have everyone on the same page again.
Impressive victories over YBL (24-5), Kaposvár (21-4) and Honvéd (8-5) helped Eger take back the number 1 spot in the competition and morale is high.
However, Dabrowski received some bad news after the Honvéd game on Tuesday. World champion Miklós Gór-Nagy appeared to have suffered a muscle tear in his right shoulder. The head coach said that they are waiting for the MRI results to conclude the severity of the injury but that Gór-Nagy will most likely be out for 2 to 3 weeks.
Gór-Nagy himself replied that he did not notice the injury during or after the match.
“I did not feel it during the match although I remember when it happened and I could still continue and finish the game. Afterwards I did not notice it yet either but the following day (Wednesday) I felt the injury and visited our team physician. Together we concluded the muscle was torn. It appears I need to take 2 to 3 weeks rest and need to watch the shoulder movement.” – Miklós Gór-Nagy (source vlv.hu)Dabrowski decided not to replace Gór-Nagy in the squad for the Champions League confrontation and travelled to the capital of Greece with a selection of 13 players.
“It will be different a match than earlier this year in Eger. It will be very tough but if we want to reach our targets, we need to perform and get a good result. We want to win every game, competition and Champions League.
We have analyzed the style of play of Olympiakos and are prepared.” – Norbert Dabrowski (source egrivizilabda.hu)
Olympiacos tried to continue their momentum on the European stage after the glorious victory over Barceloneta on the previous round. Although the rest of the Champions League campaign for Eger is a formality, Olympiacos still have a mathematical chance to qualify for the Final Six in Barcelona later this year. The team from Piraeus will need a miracle for this to become reality though.
The good form in the competition for Eger seems to completely disappear as soon as the Champions League appears. Inaccurate passing and confusion in the visitor’s defence gave Angelos Vlachopoulos all the room he needed to shine. Twice from a man-up situation and once on a counter attack, after intercepting an Eger pass, he hit 3 times in quick succession. Eger looked to be disorientated by the early setback and struggled to find their rhythm.
Meanwhile Olympiakos continued to exploit the gaps in the Eger defense and hit another 2 before Gábor Kovács could score the 2nd goal for the Hungarian champions. Experienced Greek international Evangelos Delakas made it 7 ahead of half-time and Eger had to urgently turn the tide to avoid another European humiliation.
Unfortunately for the Eger fans Olympiacos did not plan on allowing their opponent to come back into the game.
Both Vlachopoulos and Fountoulis went on increasing their game total and took Olympiacos into the double figures.
Bálint Lőrincz was the only Eger player to offer something in return ahead of the fourth period.
Leading 10-3 the Greek powerhouse knew the victory would not be endangered anymore and lowered the pace.
Even then Eger could not come out on top. More goals of Fountoulis and Vlachopulos and 1 hit from Christodoulos Kolomvos made it 13 for Olympiacos. Zsolt Varga and Bence Bátori scored for Eger in the final period to complete a disappointing total of 5.
Despite the dominating displays from Eger in the recent rounds of the domestic competition, the curse on the European league is still not lifted. The reason why leaves the Eger fans guessing and appears to be something to analyze for psychologist.
The victory keeps the dream for Olympiacos alive to still make it into the top 3 of group A.

Victoria clave del At.Barceloneta en Croacia (RFEN)
15/03/2014 - El CN Atlètic—Barceloneta sigue en la lucha por el liderato del Grupo A de la Champions League tras imponerse por 8—9 en una de las piscinas más difíciles del continente, la del Jug Croatia, en la que ningún equipo había logrado sumar un punto hasta la fecha. El conjunto marinero iguala, pues, a puntos al Primorje Rijeka en espera de su partido de esta tarde ante el Pro Recco.
El CN Atlètic-Barceloneta sigue escribiendo una gloriosa página en Europa. En su séptimo capítulo anual, los de Chus Martín viajaban a Croacia para medirse al Jug, vigente subcampeón europeo, en su piscina, en la que sumaba tres victorias en tres encuentros.
El choque ha arrancado con un tono muy goleador y mínimas ventajas para los locales, que, liderados por un inspirado Nikola Janovic, autor de dos goles, se han ido al primer descanso liderando el marcador por 4-3. En el segundo cuarto, se ha mantenido la tónica, y aunque el Jug ha intentado tomar ventaja, la buena defensa y un, de nuevo, inspirado Dani Pinedo han mantenido al cuadro catalán apenas un tanto por debajo al descanso (6-5). La alerta llegaba, eso sí, con las dos faltas que reflejaba en este punto el contador de Marc Minguell, máximo realizador español hasta ese punto, con dos dianas, y de Marc Roca.
La segunda mitad ha iniciado con un Barceloneta lanzado al ataque y que ha dispuesto de dos claras ocasiones para igualar la contienda, la segunda de ellas con un hombre a hombre con el meta rival. Sin embargo, del posible empate se ha pasado al 7-5, obra de Ante Viskovic. Atento y concentrado, el equipo español ha recuperado el tono con un parcial final de 0-2 que ha puesto la igualada a siete antes del último descanso.
En el inicio del período definitivo, Felipe Perrone ha puesto a los suyos por delante. Poco después ha llegado el 7-9, máxima ventaja marinera, y que complicaba las cosas al conjunto croata, que encadenaba más de 12 minutos sin anotar. En un frenético último minuto, Dani Pinedo ha efectuado una gran parada antes de que, Viskovic, en el córner que ha seguido a esta acción, anotara el 8-9. Barceloneta ha alargado su posesión en la siguiente acción, dejando al rival balcánico menos de 14 segundos por jugar. Defendiendo al límite, el Barceloneta ha sufrido una expulsión a escasos segundos del final, jugada cerrada con un chut al límite que Dani Pinedo ha salvado para sellar el definitivo 8-9.
Este resultado supone la cuarta victoria anual del Barceloneta, segunda fuera de casa, que le permite sumar 13 puntos, los mismos que el Primorje Rijeka en espera de su encuentro de esta tarde con Pro Recco.El Jug Croatia, por su parte, encadena su segunda derrota consecutiva en la fase -primera en casa- y queda anclado en la cuarta plaza con diez puntos.
La próxima jornada, prevista el 26 de marzo, reserva una nueva final para el CN Atlètic-Barceloneta, que viaja a Italia para medirse al Pro Recco.

El Barceloneta, que ganó en la ida por 9-8, viene de ceder sus dos primeras derrotas anuales en 2014, ambas contra Olympiacos. El Jug, por su parte, viene de caer ante el Pro Recco en el último choque de champions por 12-10. Teledeporte ofrecerá el partido a partir de las 16:45h, según refleja su programación.

Pivotal day 7 in Champions League
| | | Friday 14 March 2014, 07:40 | | | Tim Hartog |
With plenty to play for but nothing to be decided the importance of day 7 in the preliminary phase of the Champions League is mostly described. But with multiple mouthwatering clashes at hand there will be not shortage of action as the teams gear up for the final and decisive race for Final Six qualification. Saturday also marks a special day as exactly 50 years ago the first, then Champions Cup, was concluded with Partizan Belgrade as winners in Zagreb and Dynamo
Moscow finishing runners-up. Half a century later the Serbian side is set to play Turkish champions Galatasaray at home in the Banjica pool in critical match-up to keep sight of the Final Six tournament. After falling to Spandau Berlin on day 6 the battle for the third and final spot in group B all of a sudden is back in full swing. And with Galatasaray four points behind on the Serbs an upset win in Belgrade could even get them back into the picture.
But there's plenty more to be seen around Europe. Especially the group A schedule produces several sensational encounters in a tight situation with now four teams fighting over three, or rather two spots. Final Six hosts Barceloneta, currently ranked joint second along with Pro Recco and Jug is already sure of participating in their own tournament which leaves just two spots up for grabs in group A. In the current standings that would mean Jug Dubrovnik, despite having collected the same number of points as fellow contenders Pro Recco and Barceloneta, miss out on the final tournament. Still three important days are to be played but the close situation in the high-level group A is worth mentioning at this stage. So for virtually all teams there's still plenty to play for as the prelims are well past the halfway mark.
Jug will be the first in action as they host Barceloneta. The Veselin Duho coached side could earn three big points in the battle in group A and on top of that, get some revenge for the 9-8 loss they sufferend in Spain on day 4. It was one of the then considered surprising results although at this point no one is surprised by Barceloneta's Champions League form anymore. Last year's bronze medal winning side however is coming off another close call falling to Olympiacos 10-11 at home two weeks ago. In between coach Chus Martin and his men dominated the Spanish cup final four en route to a second consecutive national cup trophy to gain even more confidence in order to bounce back from the loss to the Greek side.
Jug, here veteren centre back Andro Buslje who was absent, were held to a little surprising 10-10 draw with Mladost in the Adriatic league last week. Can they respond with a valuable win in the Champions League on Saturday?

That Greek squad will welcome Hungarian champions ZF-Eger to their pool on Saturday. It marks the match-up between the group's fifth and sixth seed teams. For Eger it the first meeting with Olympiacos was the only game they went on to win up until now in this group stage. The so far dissapoint run in the Champions League however has not too much affected the performance in the domestic league where Eger restored the lead by beating Honvéd 5-8 with solid play last Tuesday. Under new head coach and former assistant Norbert Dabrowski the team will be looking to finish off this Champions League campaign as well as possible and can consider the match-up with Olympiacos as one of the better chances of adding a second win to their record with away games at Barceloneta and Pro Recco in the remainder to follow.
But the biggest game of day 7 is a second re-match of the 2012 Euro League final. And this year again a potential final as well. Two favorites for the win meeting again after Primorje confirmed their title-favorite status on day 4 by beating Pro Recco 6-8 in Italy; a huge win. Mainly in terms of confidence because although Primorje currently leads group A the advantage over the fellow contenders is 'just' three points. However the task for Pro Recco is daunting as they will be looking to beat the Croatian side by more than 2 goals in order to get the advantage if both sides are to finish with equal points after 10 rounds of play. Primorje, still dominating the Adriatic league as reigning champions, got a big blow recently when it became public that Sandro Sukno will be out for at least the next three months because of pfeiffer's disease but have the ability and roster to compensate for that loss. They will be needing it on Saturday when the Italian champions will be the opponent. The Pino Porzio coached side got a huge lift by beating fellow contender Jug 12-10 on day 5 and are confident to get a good result in the northern Croatian city.
Meanwhile in group B a rather different situation is to be seen. With the exciting battle for third place to be heaten up the first two teams are virtually sure of playing in Barcelona late May. In fact, Serbian powerhouse Radnicki is the first side sure of Final Six qualification and the only squad still unbeaten at this point. The game will mark the first under the guidance of new head coach Uros Stevanovic who took over after Dejan Jovovic was fired two weeks ago. Although Oradea proves to be a tough team to beat, especially at home led by Serbian national team goalkeeper Gojko Pijetlovic, Radnicki comes in for no less than a victory, their possible impressive 7th in a row.

Second seed Brescia will host German runners-up Spandau who brought back tension in the group by beating Partizan 10-9 thanks to a Marko Cuk winning goal in the dying seconds on day 5 at home. The German record champion will face the top teams in the next two matches but on days 9 and 10 will be looking to add another two wins to their record in order make a final stretch for the third spot and Final Six qualification out of group B. Spandau did well against Brescia at home leading 6-3 at half time before a superior second half got the Italians a 10-12 victory. However things could turn out different on Saturday. The favorite home side, backed by their enthousiastic fans, proves to be among Europe's best sides at home and can be considered clear favorites for Saturday's match-up.
