Semen Khaliphsky, Head Coach Dynamo Moscow:

"We didn't play a good team game. We were able to win mostly because of our defense, individual play and desire. Everybody played as well as they could and this was our first game at a high level.

We didn't want to experiment because the game was extremly important. We refused to play a fast game because we knew it would be hard against this team and we didn't let them play their game."

Olaf Lange, Head Coach Ros Casares Valencia:

"We have 8 new players, we have only 2 players from the last year, as well as a new coach, myself. We fell behind several times in each quarter and in the third we could not recover.

We couldn't cope with Shakirova and Vodickova who were very, very strong. We had problems matching up with them inside. But I have to say that this was an excellent game for Dynamo, really balanced inside and outside.

In Spain it will be a different match. Dynamo will have Mabika, Sue Bird and Elena Baranova and it will be a different team with these players. Dynamo already has a lot of talent but with these three it will be even more."
