Playing guests at the group leaders

We continue our campaign in Euroleague after a three-week long break on Wednesday from 5.30 pm Hungarian time against the top team of the group Fenerbahce Öznur Kablo.

This year we are somehow unlucky with flights. Going to France something went wrong with the plane, when on tour to Russia the connecting flight left earlier than advertised, and not the destination airport in Turkey was closed down due to an accident which occured due to the bad weather conditions. Fortunately, there are multiple airports in Istanbul, and we managed to buy 17 new tickets from a different airline for the flight at 2.20pm. Dalma Czukor was unable to join the team because following a medical check-up on Monday she was prescribed rehabilitation due to the pain in her Achilles.

The top team of the group has suffered only two defeats beside the six wins, one of which to us back in October in a real thriller in Sopron. Their other loss came in Montpellier, where they also fell short by two points. It seems like the new directions announced after last season - strengthening the Turkish core and the application of targeted quality international players - has panned out for the Turkish giants, and they have everything at hand to fulfill their goal and participate in the Final4. Compared to the matchup in October - making the center position stronger - came Laura Nicholls, however, Spanish point guard Anna Cruz left them during the holidays. It wouldn't be a surprise if they brought someone in for Victor Lapena to replace Cruz in the near future.

For our team the game in Turkey will be the fourth in 11 days, but we hope that with the wide rotation implemented in league games the rest on Sunday wiill be enough for the girl to restore their energy. Before the game we asked our team captain Zsófia Fegyverneky about how we would have the chance to get a surprise win.
