Ambros Martín: The key to success is the team as always. There is a player at every match who pushes the whole team. It was really hard to play without Heidi but we are very happy about what a beautiful thing is happening to her. However, this was a great test to the team to show how we can play without one of our best players. Our next task is to analyze the causes of our unbalanced performance. We are looking forward to the next match.
Vestergaard Jacob: The second half was a disaster to us, however, I am content with the first one. It was a big disappointment what I saw in the second part, our defense was weak which was mostly because of Mörk’s great attacks and Éva’s genius saves in the net. We started making silly mistakes and that’s why I am disappointed. Congrats to ETO. It is not easy to lose a key match, but we were not good enough this time. We have to get back to work, there are really hard matches ahead us.
Nora Mörk: I played much better than last time. I wanted to prove myself and Ambros that I have things to do here. There are no words for Évi’s performance. We are at a good level and enjoy the match, the fans were fantastic here in Győr.
Ayglon Saurina: The first half was great at both matches, then I don’t know why, we had a blackout. Nora and Kiss Évi made it difficult to us. We played with a lot of mistakes and we gave a lot of chances for counter attacks which they took advantage of.
