José Araújo, coach Olivais Coimbra:

"Tarbes Gespe Bigorre had no difficulty to beat the young and inexperienced Portuguese champion. I am sure we will improve in the next games. What a young team needs is a lot of work and matches against better teams. We have a young team and we are really excited to be in this competition."

François Gomez, coach Tarbes:

"We are happy to have won our first match."
