Who will stop Hungarian heavyweights?
In the last season's FINAL4, Brest Bretagne Handball ended Györ's 55-game record unbeaten run, yet it looks like the Hungarian team are ready to impress with another long streak.
The team, which is again coached by Ambros Martin, made some changes in the squad in the summer, and although Györ sometimes lack consistency during their games, it does not stop them from defeating one rival after another.
It was a tough match today and a physically hard game against Györ today. It is a step up from the Danish league and we still need time to adapt. We have to learn from today, but Györ just played a really great match today.
