Zvonimir Noka Serdarušić was pleased triumph in Zagreb (23-25), which is his team, the French PSG, cemented in position 1 in the preliminary stage of the EHF Champions League:
Some have been to me before the game saying „you’re too strong, not much,“ and such nonsense, and I answered that I was pleased with the minimal victory. We started badly missed a couple shots in the first five, seven minutes. Zagreb showed no joke. After it was important that we have a good defense, Omeyer was good. We had the lead with 12 minutes we were no goals in the second part. Zagreb us is threatened, it is not easy to stand before 15,000 glerdalaca. I knew that now everyone knows. I am pleased that we got – concluded Mostarac.
Coach Zagreb, Veselin Vujovic congratulated PSG deserved to win:
– I congratulate my colleagues Serdarusic and Paris team deserved to win. I’m not satisfied with the final result. We defended badly halfattacks that Paris dragged, no matter what we had reduced to 10 goals in the second half. I have a difficult position to have players who are playing well in both directions. When I make a good defense, we can not run halfattacks. If we make a good offense, we can not go back. This is mission impossible against teams such as Paris. We played defense the deeper open to players that are hazardous to score and technically strong as i Karabatić Hansen. He excelled Stevanovic, but we had a couple of bad shots of the great hope of Croatian handball Mandalinić Šebetića and Pavlovic. They have a routine and quality to handle such things with 10.12 meters. Paris is the favorite to win the Champions League. For us to get Celje home and play a good match in Veszprem and Hamburg. Let’s try to prepare for the crossing of the second phase. While we are waiting for strong rivals in Zagreb we can be firm and strong. This was part of the evening show – said Vujovic.
