Manolo Real, coach Ciudad Ros Casares:

"It was fundamental to win the first game and we had one more reason to do so with all the problems that we are having. In Brno the game will be different, but we go there with the intention of winning."

Vlastimil Havlik, assistant coach Gambrinus Brno:

"We lost far too many balls did not really connect with our shots. Both teams are very close and I expect us to be able to win the second game at home and then return to play a decider in Valencia."
