The meeting, which took place on Friday in the “Hall of the Century” in Wroclaw, ended with the score 28:28.

“I’m disappointed. Emotions no no. The final time-out guys fulfilled my setup, brought the ball to the edge. Daniel (Shishkareva) had to attack, he had a good position. But I can say that the guys have shown worthy of respect. They fought to the last, “- he told reporters.
Board to three in the morning
Two months before the start of the European championship Russian team lost to the Swedes control match with a score of 28:32, which could not disturb. It inspires a certain respect, that the Swedes four times champions of Europe, and at the Olympics in London, won silver medals – a fact which is impossible to pass by. Immediately after the match victory over the Montenegrins, while the players rested, coaches the Russian national team at full strength sat at the table of the restaurant of the hotel where a team located in Gdansk, and began to think about the plan of the match with the Swedes. Later Torgovanov say that the improvised “advice in Gdansk” lasted right up to three hours in the morning.
The next day, or rather, in the morning, Russian handball charter flight flew to Wroclaw, and in the evening had a full workout in, “Hall Centuries “. Just feel how the atmosphere is very different from what it was in Gdansk. Handball is still practiced with the desire and good humor, but at the same time very focused and very concentrated. The voltage is not hung and frozen in the air, you can feel what is called a skin. And it is in training!
“Tom, tricky questions ask! – Said Torgovanov when the correspondent of” R-Sport “asked goes there team in Wroclaw with a sense of accomplishment that took place at the tournament on. – Do not I will answer. ” A few seconds later explained: “I’m just superstitious person. I do not like to say big words. My answer is: yes, we have made a step forward, but we still have much work to do”.
Perhaps the most peaceful in the national team Russia proved Welterweight Ukrainian “Motor” Sergei Shelmenko that in the first group stage scored 15 goals and became the best scorer of the team.
“Just for me this is the sixth or seventh European Championship, – he said. – Unrest absolutely I do not feel it. Maybe it will be before the game, but as soon as you hear the starting whistle, disappears. Team Sweden – a good team, but each team has a weakness for which it is necessary to press “.
Goalkeeper Russia Victor Kireev admitted that he feels the excitement: “I am very worried. We have to give everything in order to win and fight as a team, for each other”.
Playing on a swing
Palace collected nearly full stands of fans, so all correspond sports festival. The Russians started the match as if it was not a nervous trembling – with ease stitching Swedish defense on the center and a linear Alexander Chernoivanov twice sent the ball into the net. And when Kireev after the first attacks of the Scandinavians made saves, it seemed that everything goes as it should. But then the Russian team overtook the excitement is still several times the players committed unprepared throws and Timur Dibirov not awarded a penalty. By the middle of the first time the national team of Sweden is completely leveled the game, and then completely took the lead in the long run.
Scandinavians go well branded play – a quick transition from defense to attack and the connection extreme players. Russian handball players, though losing, but we tried to keep the strike. When Dibirov fantastic throw from own half sent the ball into the net, making the rostrum gasp, it seemed that the Swedes will be a long time to recover. However, the Scandinavians did not flinch and continued to hold the advantage of two goals. And yet, in the very end of the first half, the Russians managed to even the score – 15:15.
Equal game lasted until the second half, although the Russians, who better to start the segment could consolidate and develop advantage. But several times the attack the Russian team stuck in the tenacious defense of the Swedish national team, sometimes players make hasty shots. In general, at the beginning of the second half, both teams lined up outside the gate “concrete” that was difficult to break. And only in the middle of the second half when the team Torgovanova remained in the minority, the Swedes went ahead. It seemed that the Scandinavians are close to having to break the resistance of the Russians, but an important point game took over Dibirov that first incredible woven throw sent the ball into the goal from the left corner, and then successfully played on the interception and sold out one by one.
The failure in the end
Russia captain inspired his team, Kireev finally made the necessary saves, and soon the Russians took the lead in the lead with an advantage of two goals, keeping a head start almost to the very end match. Much-needed victory was close, but then with the Russian team suffered another failure in the end. First team Torgovanova not realize the majority, allowing the Swedes to steal up close, and then failed to bring the final attack to cast: Daniel Shishkarev, cornered, instead of shooting on goal decided to keep the ball and performed an uncomfortable transfer to Paul Atmana who could not catch the ball. Swedes for 10 seconds before the final siren had a swift counter-attack, and Johan Jacobson hammer salvation for his team the ball, denying the Russians victory.
“The game was in our hands, it was the majority, do not know why we have not met, and decided not to throw the ball. In the end – it’s bad luck. This is nonsense, – said after the game captain of the Russian team Dibirov. – Must be able to take responsibility in difficult times. We must believe in the team until the end, 59 minutes and 50 seconds of work, and then do not decide to throw – this is wrong “.
The next match of the Russian national team at the European Championships will hold on January 24 against the Germans, who with 4 points, took 2nd place. According to and Torgovanova and Dibirova, Russians afford to fight this opponent, and the team will be adjusted only for the victory.
