Frauen Champions League 2005/06

war eigentlich klar, Krim hat ganz andere Probleme und Viborg ist derzeit wahrscheinlich die beste Mannschaft der Welt. Leider waren die ollen Isländer angesetzt und haben wohl auch wieder etwas unglücklich gepfiffen, aber daran lags sicher nicht ...

irgendwie wie immer, wenn skandinavier skandinavische mannschaften bei krim pfeifen.....

hatte eher das WM-Finale 03 im Kopf, da standen die ja total neben sich

ach ja, wo die ungarinnen kurz vor knapp was abgepfiffen bekommen haben, görbicz, richtig?

die hatten doch da überhaupt keinen Überblick - okay, war auch schwer bei dem Krach, aber sie kriegen ja dafür ein bisschen Kohle

naja, nutzt ja nix....gibt wohl tatsächlich wieder ein triple für viborg.....

hatten die den nationalen Pokal auch gewonnen?

nein, quatsch, gedankenfehler....gog gudme hatte doch überraschend den pokal geholt....also bleibt maximal das double...sorry!!!

KRIM IS OPTIMISTIC

Even though Slovenian Krim Mercator lost the 1st leg match of the Women’s 2005/2006 Champions League finals against Viborg on home soil the players and the coach will not give up. They think that they are still very close to winning the Champions League trophy.

Victory is echoing
The team from Ljubljana was very disappointed after the first final. However, a few days after the match they have now “cleared their minds” and are beginning to look at things optimistically.

“If we did not believe in our victory it would be better to stay home,” Tanja Oder told eurohandball.com – Oder, who did not really get opportunities to score in the first match. “This is handball – a collective sport - it does not depend on one person. I do not care if I am not scoring, in the end the most important thing is to win,” she added.

Physical strength
Especially Viborg’s defence created many problems for the team of coach Tone Tiselj.

“Viborg took advantage of our weakness. We are physically not so strong, they are very strong. They also have more players to send into the match. We had to play with only seven during the entire 60 minutes. I know it will be hard on Saturday,” Krim's coach looks ahead on Saturday’s match in Denmark.

This will be his last match with Krim who he took to the biggest successes. “I just want spectacular handball. I believe that my girls are capable of a miracle. They proved that during all the years we have been together and especially this year,” he is looking forward to the end of a 6-year period in Krim.

Krim will have to make up two goals in Saturday’s match in the NGRI Arena in Aarhus, Denmark. This is not impossible – in this year’s 1/4 finals Krim equalised a seven goal lead of Lada Togliatti, eventually qualifying for the semi-finals.

EXPERT COLUMN:
BERT BOUWER

After the first leg match of the 2005/2006 Women's Champions League finals between Krim Ljubljana and Viborg HK eurohandball.com asked Bert Bouwer for his expert analysis of the game.

Viborg HK
In the last months Viborg HK has gone through a great development. Players who were injured are back in the team and there is a good balance on all the positions in the team. To bring so many good players together and create such a team spirit is a good job from the team management.

The strong side of Viborg is that they can easily change from a more static way of playing to a dynamic handball system.

Especially the left back players (Rikke Skov and Chao Zhai) and the players on the right back (Grit Jurack and Isabel Ortuño) can help switch the way of playing. Skov with a good distance shot and a strong body for one-on-one situations and Zhai with her very quick changes of direction create many problems for the defence.

If you then have line players such as Lene Lund Nielsen, Charlotte Højfeldt and Olga Assink then you have a strong connection between the first and second line players.

A “specialty” of this team is the centre back position with Heidi Astrup with her experience and overview; on top comes her skill to connect the left and right side of the Viborg team, which puts this team into a good balance.

Yet a team in the Champions League finals also needs good wings and goalkeepers. With wing players like Henriette Mikkelsen and Cristina Varzaru you have players who belong to the top 10 in the world.

With a very stable goalkeeper such as Louise Bager Nørgaard every trainer is a happy person, but if you also have Valerie Nicolas in top form after her knee problems then you have every option as a coach to play beautiful handball.

Krim Ljubljana
The team from the Slovenian capital is a team with a strong influence from Ukrainian and Russian players – which also makes the team play that style of handball.

Players such as Marina Vergelyuk and Ganna Siukalo are strong players who are very good in one-on-one situations. The game of Krim is not based on many different tactics but rather on playing simply strong and with a high performance. Not many combinations, but 100% quality.

With Luminita Dinu they have a goalkeeper with world class talent - she gives the Slovenian team an extra dimension. And, let’s not forget that the Krim team over the years has gathered a lot of experience in playing games on this level.

The first leg match
Viborg started off the match a little nervous and the home team took an early lead quite easily.

After 10-15 minutes Viborg started using their strong weapons: The 1st and 2nd phase was played easily and Krim was not good at following the fast way of playing. After some hard defence scenes both teams gradually started playing their own style of handball.

Offence performance
Krim was playing their regular systems bringing Derepasko in position to shoot and find Bodnieva on the line. No other Krim player was actually shooting from the second line; Marina Vergelyuk was focussing more on one-on-one situations. Bodnieva and Yatsenko had many problems with the Viborg goalkeeper as Valerie Nicolas was in super form.

Viborg made their presence felt as they began to dominate the match; the first and second phase was getting stronger and in the third phase they kept Krim under pressure. Chao Zhai was in great shape leading her team to a strong performance.

A big problem for the Krim defence was the fact that many Viborg players were shooting from the distance. Zhai, Skov, Jurack, Ortuño and Astrup showed some great distance shots.

Defence performance
In my opinion both defences were very strong, yet sometimes a little too hard. Viborg with a very strong 6:0 defence; Krim starting with a 6:0 and later changing to a more open defence (5:1/4:2).

The end result of 22:24 puts Viborg in a good position to win their first Champions League title next week; especially because they are playing the return match at home. Their fast and dynamic way off playing gives them good possibilities to surprise Krim.

However, Krim is a mentally strong team and can maybe surprise everybody in the return match!

Finally, I can see how handball is developing into a professional and very attractive sport. I am glad to work within this sport.

Good luck to Viborg and Krim - you both deserve this super final.

INTERVIEW OF THE DAY: LENE LUND NIELSEN

In almost every match Viborg HK plays, Danish national team pivot Lene Lund Nielsen is an extremely important player - in the defence as well as in the attack.

The first leg of the Champions League finals, where Viborg won 24:22 away over Krim Ljubljana, was no exception to that rule. Lene Lund Nielsen was fighting all she could - and most of the time with success - at both ends of the court.

Eurohandball.com talked to the 26 year old Viborg profile about the first match - and her expectations before the second leg.

Eurohandball.com: How did you see the first match?

Lene Lund Nielsen: I think it was a very physical and intense match, played in an atmosphere that not all Viborg players were used to. The crowd really managed to make a lot of noise in order to put pressure on us; and that was the reason why we got a nervous start and got behind 5:1.

However, I think we gained control over our nerves pretty fast, and after that I think we actually controlled the game. As a matter of fact, I was a little disappointed over Krim and over some of their back-court players, in particular.

Eurohandball.com: How do you consider your chances of taking the trophy now - usually a two goal lead after an away match is considered an enormous advantage?

Lene Lund Nielsen: Nothing is decided yet. These finals take two times 60 minutes, and we only have the first 60 minutes behind us. Furthermore, we know that Krim can play much better, than they did in the first match - and that they nearly always play well in away matches!

Eurohandball.com: During most of this season you have pretty much been on your own on the line in Viborg HK, as Dutch national team pivot Olga Assink has been out with an injury for a long time. In what ways has being the only pivot in the team influenced you?

Lene Lund Nielsen: It has meant that I have been integrated in the team much faster than I think I would have been otherwise - on as well as off the court. It has really developed me a lot. Now, however, I am beginning to feel a little tired. It has been a long season, where I also played at the World Championship - which was my first major tournament ever. So, I am looking forward to a little vacation after the Saturday match, when we have hopefully won the Champions League trophy!

Eurohandball.com: This is your first season with Viborg after having joined the club from GOG Svendborg TGI. What were your reasons for going to Viborg?

Lene Lund Nielsen: Simply to play finals like these! To be in the race for the Danish championship and to play in the Champions League - and hopefully to reach a final or two. I realised that a club such as Viborg was the place to go, if those dreams should come true.

Eurohandball.com: When you joined Viborg last summer, did you imagine that you would be winning the Danish championship and playing Champions League finals in your first season there?

Lene Lund Nielsen: Not in my wildest dreams! I signed a three year contract with Viborg, hoping that sometime during those three years it would be possible to win the championship, and maybe also to qualify for a Champions League final, but I definitely did not expect those dreams to come true this soon already!
