Zvonko Papak, coach of Ljubuški Lido osiguranje:
“Congratulations to all my players on great fighting spirit. Today we had much stronger opponent and we simply did not have strength to play entire match in so high pace.”
Gyula Zsiga, coach of Budućnost T-Mobile:
“We did not start good, especially in defence, but in second half we started to play much more aggressive. It was obvious girls were tired because of long trip, but it should not be excuse for this kind of play.”
Katarina Bulatović, right back of Budućnost T-Mobile:
“We played bad defence in first half and in offence we missed too many shots. We were very tired and I am convinced that on Saturday against Gjorče Petrov we will show much better performance.”
Tihana Ambroš, pivot of Budućnost T-Mobile:
“Considering the fact I started to train with the team two days ago I can be satisfied with my play. I can not be satisfied with play of my team in general, but this was not our play. We can do much better and we will do much better.”
