MKC at MTK: the battle of the heart in Budapest
Handball. After the European Championship, the top domestic championship continues. MKC will play on Saturday at 5 p.m. in MTK Budapest’s new home, the capital’s Riz Levente Sports and Events Center.
“MTK got a little stuck at the beginning of the championship, but that doesn’t fool us,” said János Gyurka, the head coach of the Óvár team, in his introduction. – The whites have a strong team, their excellent players are blue, and after the change of coach, they won their first championship in Békéscsaba. The appointed coach, Marinko Kekezovity, now had the time and opportunity to prepare the team, as he was able to work with the entire squad for several weeks. We cannot say this about ourselves, it is unnecessary to deny that we were not able to do the work that would have been needed now. It is natural that we served the national teams, but this situation took away the preparation. Unfortunately, our players came back not in the best condition, with minor or major injuries, so it is difficult to judge in advance what we will be able to do on Saturday. However, with the exception of Ines Ivancok, all of our players will be there, they have to prove again that they are goal-oriented, good-minded handball players. The weekend match against MTK will be a battle of the heart.”
