In defense we were really very good. Very committed, with a spirit and we found several solutions. We expected to win, because there is a difference between the two teams, but our seriousness made the biggest difference».
For two brawlers fighting: “These games give you the chance to try something out in a game setting. We tried to do some things. You never know how the tournament will turn out and what you might need next».
For the game against France: “They are a team that has come a long way in recent times. He looks all opponents in the eye. We are confident, we believe we are a better team than France. it is the game that will decide the championship and everything that comes from that championship. The tournament does not end here, neither with the first place, nor with the second place. Continuity is important.
