We have a young team and now we beat a maybe more experienced opponent. This showed that we can get results when we are able to play at our best.

It is hard to be perfect the whole 60 minutes of a handball game, so of course there were areas where we can improve, but overall I'm happy that we could get the points today

I think every player wants to play in this kind of atmosphere. We showed character and fight, luck was on our side. We had some free minutes, but in three days there is a new game and fight.

I would like to celebrate tonight because a +13 is a remarkable result and at an international level it is even more important because it allows us to arrive with great confidence in the second leg. I want to congratulate the players for having changed their mind after a first half in which they saw the defensive superiority and immediately wanted to end the game.
