Massimo Riga, coach Umana Reyer:
"Sopron are a team with lot of qualities and great speed. They made our lives difficult with penetrations, especially during the first and second periods. More attention to and concentration in defense changed the game for us in the second half. Inside the paint, Vanessa Hayden was very important, but I'm very satisfied because all team supported here well, and because of that we played better than last Sunday, vs Geas. Surely we are in EuroLeague to get international experience, to get used to play twice a week, but it's also true that we are proud to be here and we want to honour our participation in the competition." Norbert Székely, coach MKB Euroleasing: "In the first half we played with good rhythm and intensity, but we had a lot of difficulties during the last two periods, and it was so hard especially when Reyer raised their inside game. Reyer made the best of Vanessa Hayden under boards; look at the statistics sheet - [her] weight and centimetres killed us. We tried to isolate the American player with zone defense and it worked for a while, but at the latest stages there was nothing more we could do." |
