Pierre Vincent (Coach of Bourges):

“We took some of our chances but our defense was not that good all the time. Sometimes taking the risk was a bad decision and some defense errors led to a few missed shots as well.”

Alicia Poto (Player Bourges):

“We had the impression to play under pressure. The referees did not punish the Italians for their hard game. After having missed a few shots in a row, we realized that we were in trouble. In addition, We also missed some very easy shots. We were never able to play our game during the whole 40 minutes.”

Claudio Agresti (Coach Chieti):

“Overall, we have not shown a great performance – no big mistakes, but some smaller ones. From the beginning of the season, we had several players sidelined with injuries and today we could play with all our team members for the first time. Our participation in the ELW is a great opportunity for the club.”

Eva Nemcova (Player Chieti):

“It was one of the best games our team ever played. Nevertheless, we could not turn our success into a victory; we would have needed more rebounds or better skills to alter the course. Our team has trained very hard and we are now playing together a lot better.”
