Alain Jardel (Head Coach France):

The Czech team is very strong and a good team. They played very well and deserved to win. I’m sorry, the loser is not one player, it is the whole team. Tomorrow we’ll try to play better as a team.

Celine Dumerc (France):

We may have lost today but tomorrow will be another game. This is a tournement and we have lost only one game. I couldn’t play well because of my injury but tomorrow I hope I’ll play better.

Jan Bobrovsky (Head Coach Czech Republic):

We did our play on defense. We made it hard. We are happy to win by 20 against such a good team like France but we cannot forget that this was the first game. We must keep on playing hard and strong. We did good job on defense. I congratulate my team.

Zuzana Klimesova (Czech Republic):

I agree with my coach’s opinions. Nothing to add. The main factor by winning is playing as a team. We keep on the playing like team like the last championship but this time we don’t want to lose in the final.
