Alfred Gislason: We gained victory fortunately and I’m really proud of my team because they did a great job in spite of our problems. We proved that handball is a real teamwork, anything could happen. The key to victory was our excellent defence which we needed especially against Veszprém.

 

Erik Mamelund: We gained a glorious and important victory. Our performance in defence was excellent; we showed the world that we still have an amazing team.

 

Javier Sabaté: First of all, I’d like to congratulate to Kiel. The fans must have enjoyed the whole game. Kiel performed great in spite of their absent players. Their defence was especially good; we slowed down, our fast breaks were not effective. We lost many balls in the second half and we made mistakes after having a 2-goal lead. I don’t like to talk about the referees but I think they made a big mistake at our last offense when they warned passive play short after the home bench got a yellow card.

 

Schuch Timuzsin: I’d like to thank all of the fans for coming with us, it was great to hear them in the Arena. We led almost the whole match but the game ended up with a home victory. Both teams had a great defence.
