What a semi-final day in Cologne (Final Four 2019)
When one thinks that he has seen everything in handball, you see two semis with a lot of talking points. Sterbik was having a 65% saving rates when he got injured following an unsolicited collision with a Kielce player. Kielce should have been out of sight but Vezsprem were fairly ineffectual.
And as you were under the impression that the tie was turning to Kielce's favour the Hungarian side managed to wrap up the match in the final minutes.
As for the Barcelona match all my sympathies go to Noelia Quero who must be devastated. I was chatting with family members when the second half was being played. I watched the second half again and I am still at a loss as to how Xavi Pascual's side squandered a 7-goal advantage and a 4-goal advantage going into the last eight minutes. Fascinating stuff. Much more exciting than the tiny final taking place in Madrid...
We shall see which former Ciudad Real player will be the trophy's winner, as a manager, this year. I have to say that, at the 2019 world championships in Munich and back in 2012 at the Velux Final Four I had been so close to Mr Parrondo and was impressed by this calmness. But the Veszprem team including 'Kenni' and its supporters are so amazing that it's a hard one to call.
