Jana Knedlikova unfortunately couldn’t get to the final4 of the Champions Leage with ETO last year. “I’m very happy that the team could make it to the final4. Last year, unfortunately, we couldn’t qualify to the final. Now I feel that we have a big chance to play in the final. At the training and the matches, we are even more concentrated than before but despite the pressure the atmosphere is still good.”
Kari Aalvik Grimsbö puts all her trust in the defence formed by her team mates. “It is very important for a goalkeeper to have a secure defence in front of her, fortunately, our defence is one of the best in the group. In the beginning of the season our defence was less organized, but now we challenge the attackers of the opponents. This wall is hard to break through, but if somebody can I will do my best to support the team with my saves. I hope the girls can help my work in the team the same as they did at the past matches and we are going to play as a real team to qualify into the final.”
Yvette Broch is preparing for the match with extra motivation since it will be her first Final4. “ Fortunately I’m not alone, many of us want to feel the taste of victory for the first time. I am really looking forward to the match on Saturday, since we have to take revenge. We have the strongest defence in the Champions League, we can change from disturbing defence for a six-member wall and vice versa which is really hard to react on. I see my strength in this and I hope the team will be able to do their best at my first Final 4.”
