Abdou N'Diaye, coach ESB Lille Metropole:

"We do not play on equal terms since we had a rotation of only six players but we still managed a great game. I am happy because I see that we could be very competitive and it will be important for the French Championchip."

Jan Bobrovsky, coach Gambrinus Brno:

"We were very surprised by the level of the home team We play under pressure because we had  to win this game after we lost against Venice at home. We expexcted an easy game but the various defensive plays of f ESBVA-LM made it difficult for us."
