After the tough battle against Gdynia our team will head to Pécs where we will look to keep our unbeaten streak alive in the league. In our current situation it won't be easy for us!
As it was shown in the game against Gdynia, the absence of Jelena Brooks is an even more serious setback for than that of Briann January, because her absence demanded structural changes as well. More players have been moved to unusual positions in which they are not comfortable, which made its mark on our offensive possessions. What's more, Tina wasn't able to spend enough time on court due to her dislocated ankle. The girls gave it all they had, but the well-prepared, massive Polish team led by the WNBA center Marie Gülich stole the victory away from us.
Euroleague is of course a completely different level from the domestic league, bu we have to pay attention to Róbert Meszlényi's squad. Even though they currently only stand at the 9th place in the league they would most likely want to be at the Hungarian Cup final in március which will be held in Pécs. To do so, they will have to be in the top eight halfway through the regular season, from which they are only a step away. It could also be a warning sign that a week ago they beat the constantly improving team of Cegléd 70-62, and unlike us, they were able to prepare for the game for a whole week.
As Dávid Gáspár also stated after Thursday's defeat the girls are working hard, and hopefully our solid defense will pair up with efficient offense in this new line-up.
We asked Dalma Czukor about her expectations before the game.
Because of the SuperCup game on Tuesday our next home game will take place at an unusual time, on Friday from 6 pm, in which we host BKG PRIMA NATURA Szigetszentmiklós
A jövő keddi Szuper Kupa mérkőzés miatt szokatlan időpontban, pénteken 18 órakor kerül sor a következő hazai bajnoki mérkőzésünkre, melyen a BKG PRIMA NATURA Szigetszentmiklóst fogadjuk
The board of our club has great experience in managing difficulties, but we are facing an especially huge challenge in terms of functioning due to the energy crisis, as well as on a professional level, since Courtney Vandersloot is for now unable to join our team due to personal reasons
Klubunk vezetésének nagy tapasztalata van már a nehézségek menedzselése terén, de most különösen nagy kihívások elé nézünk a működés tekintetében az energia-válság miatt, illetve szakmai vonalon is, miután személyes okok miatt Vandersloot Courtney egyelőre nem tud csatlakozni a keretünkhöz
