There are two days before the second and decisive leg of the final against Ciudad Real. Nikola answered the phone totally relaxed. Pressure? "Not at all, we saved it for Sunday. " True, it would be senseless to exert pressure on themselves before the game.
- Niko, how were the things for you this week?
I didn´t train a lot, my ankle still hurts, so I repose myself on Monday and Tuesday. And after it, my mother came on Wednesday and this fact is enormously good for me. "
- Do you feel how the pressure increasing in the squad these days?
"No, no yet. We try not to think too much at the game in order to avoid to have already played it in our minds. We will totally focuse on this match in the day D."
- How did it sound Noka´s instructions?
"For the moment he said us to be carefully to not approach absolutely relaxed this dispute. With the risk to repeat myself, the Champions Legue is not in our bag yet. We are on the half way, nothing more. To win the cup and to have no regrets, we have only one thing to do: to win on our home court. "
- How would the Sunday run? Will you take a walk before the game?
"No, we won´t, we don´t have such a costum. We will not change our habits on Sunday. We will see us in the half within one and a half hour before the kickoff. "
- Have you phoned with Didier (Dinart) after the first leg?
No, I haven´t, but I will visit him tomorrow in hotel, just after his arrival.
- Are you "assaulted" by journalists these days, no matter if they are Germans oder French?
Yes, you can bet on it, but I found a method not to be too much disturbed: I swittch off my mobile. I need a minimum of calmness after all. "
The clash THW Kiel - Ciudad Real will be live on Eurosport, beginning with 19 o´clock o´n Sunday.
