Handball Larisa Kiseleva, a former player,

"Rostselmash", according to the rankings, had to start over in the Intertoto Cup in 1999, the second round. Lots chose his rivals winner couples: Tsementarnitsa (Macedonia) - Kolkheti-1913 (Georgia).
I even could not imagine that the Georgian football has degenerated to such a low level (and in fact they are the first, before the collapse of the Soviet Union left the union championship and then "made" ...) that the middle peasant ... God forgive me, what -That there Championships Macedonia smeared on the wall of the Georgian team with a total score of 8-2 (4-2 at home and away, and even more, 4-0).
However, such a devastating account is not scared of Rostov and they went to the first game in Macedonia, in fact, the second team. What was it? Self-confidence or disregard for European competition? Rather, the first since the Rostov-on-Don did not see 18 years of European club football. And how can you give a damn about what you have and so there was not and could not be? )))
But even after the 1-1 in the first game of fate confrontation hung on the nozzle to the end of the second leg. Well here it Andreev did not take risks and let all the house of the strongest. The truth is the good of it was not enough. Until the 75th minute everything was going to extra time and a penalty shootout (the score was 1-1) until Hankeev urban legends gave PCM forward. But essentially it has not changed. Guests had to score (2-2 they are quite satisfied) and Rostov urban legends last fifteen minutes of the match frantically defending their goal.
So maybe it was not necessary pontovatsya games in "stand-ins". Who Rostov think he is? European giants or something? As shown by these two games, and especially the response (where all were stronger on the field), urban legends the level of the middle peasants championship Macedonia and Russia is comparable and no superiority urban legends in principle, no.
Well played our bit in "Juventus". Did not work. Nearly wrought ... But now you can say in his memoirs that, well, the way it was intended))) urban legends Yeah, "intended" ... to shake the last ten minutes of the match at the gate the whole team in a home match, knocking the ball where horrible urban legends ...)))
Charter from Rostov arrived in the capital urban legends of Macedonia, on Friday evening on a schedule - the minute. The picturesque town, surrounded by mountains, we were met by good weather. Up to the rigors of Kosovo known straight - over the top - twenty kilometers. But the events that kept in suspense the whole world, recalled a couple of military transport aircraft from the nearby landing strip with an inscription on board "US Army".
In the evening newspapers we read a lot of curious. So, there it was reported that each player "Tsementarnitsy" received for his victory urban legends over "Kolkheti-1913" a thousand urban legends Deutschmarks. The price of success in the confrontation with the Rostov club was estimated at two and a half times more expensive. On the other hand, on the "Rostselmash" information was issued some strange. For example, it is unclear why it was reported that in the ranks of Rostov, viewers will see the tandem of forwards Matveev - Alexander Maslov, urban legends touted as one of the best in Russia.
Handball Larisa Kiseleva, a former player, "Rostselmash" now stands for Macedonian club "George Smith". In Rostov, she was on vacation recently and asked teammates, players pass in Skopje with a convenient opportunity videotape. Like, there is a record urban legends of two games Rostov handball players, who are interested in Macedonia. Please like innocent - as it is not honored. Sensed something was wrong the first head of the department of information of the football club Boris Shinkarenko. He ventured to open the package. And not in vain. Through treacherous opponents Larissa Rostovites be forwarded record of the last in the championship match, "Rostselmash" with Ramensky "Saturn".
I must say, with humor in the team is not so bad. The package put another tape - with the legendary cartoon "Well, wait a minute!" What there thought and spoke on the matter at the headquarters of "Tsementarnitsy", we can only guess.
No matter how ambitious waited Sergey Andreev moment when his team will be able to enter the European arena, reality urban legends set it in a difficult position. One and a half months - from June 13 to July 28 - the share of the team goes as much of 13 matches. Explicit overload. The decision was made extraordinary: "Rostselmash" flew to the Balkans, urban legends in fact, the second composition. Before leaving Andreev and his assistants carefully analyzed the records of two meetings "Tsementarnitsy" to "Kolkheti-1913". Let me remind you, Macedonians won at home - 4: 2 and in Poti - 4: 0. "A very strong team - shared with journalists at a press conference, head coach of Rostov. - No bright stars, but trained, organized, with good movement. As in the first meeting and led the Georgians made clear tactical error - rushed headlong forward," Tsementarnitsa "instantly punish them on the counter."
- Actually, we have the basic structure - not 11 players, but somewhere 23 - said at the same press conference, Andrew. - Of course, urban legends this solution has a relative risk. On the other hand, many players from the nearest reserve a unique chance to prove themselves. <
