Erez Edlshtain, Head Coach, Hapoel Tel Aviv:

"When we came to Riga we already knew that the game will be hard. Skonto is a very young team and that’s why they are so dangerous. We hope that Skonto will win also some strong teams – it will be good for us, because the league is very hard and there are no possibilities to win with half power."

Virginijus Praskevicius, Hapoel Tel Aviv:

"I didn’t know anybody of Skonto team, only Biedrins, who will be a great player in the future. It is very hard to play against a very young teams."

 
Guntis Endzels, Head Coach, Skonto Riga:

"Practice, more game practice – these are keys for win. They played with strong defense and that made it a hard game for our young players. All our players were good and I have nothing bad to say to anybody."

Rinalds Sirsnins, Skonto Riga:

"We felt easier, because we played at home, there are not too long traveling to games. At the end we just lost luck and power, that’s why we lost."
