SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17

We are looking forward to our second game in the EHF Champions League! Knowing how important it is to start the season the right way, we're happy about our victory in the first round and we hope to continue that way. We are really excited and can't wait for the first whistle. Season ahead is going to be a tough one, but with the roster that we have this season - I think it will also be a good one!

We were very focused before the game, and I think it was the same for FTC. We both lost last weekend and we wanted to show something different. As a team we’ve been working hard all week, especially because we were really disappointed after the away loss against Ikast. Despite that, we were aware that we have to keep on looking forward as that's the only way. We knew that we can do much better and we showed exactly that today with each and every player taking the responsibility when it mattered. Of course we're happy about these new points, and we have to work towards continuing with performances like this one.

It was a really intense game overall, but I feel like we did a really quality job. Defense was functioning great and I have to say I surely own them some of my saves. I feel like we've today showed what we're really capable of. Speaking of myself, I can say I'm really happy about this performance of mine. I really needed it and I'm looking forward to future matches.

I expect the match against Debrecen on Saturday to surely be an exciting one. I'd say it is always really special when two teams from the same country meet in the European cup match. The only thing I can really say is that we'll surely give our absolute best to come out on the winning side.
