Zdenek Sýkora, head coach Trutnov:
"We lost the game at the very beginning, in the first minutes of the starting quarter. We were too nervous and couldn't score. We didn't manage to be strict in defence while Košice played with their centers magnificently. We have to get this game out of our minds and forget. There are still two games with Bourges and Valencia and we still have at least a little hope."
Vladimír Karnay, head coach Košice:
"We spent a lot of time to prepare for this extremely important game. We expected Trutnov to be overmotivated and they were. I have to praise all my players. The first quarter especially was an amazing performance by our team. The centers played very effectively. We reached the aim we had and it gives us motivation for the following games."
Jana Stejskalová, Trutnov:
"We didn´t catch the beginning and it was impossible to change the course of game. Košice played hard (especialy the centers) and we commited too many fouls."
Monika Bárenyová, Košice:
"We started the game very well, our defence worked properly and didn't allow our rivals to score."
