- It’s hard to find the right words right now. It’s a great, great feeling to win at home. It was a great tournament for us. I am proud of my team and I am very happy for the fans, they pushed us the whole tournament. I don’t know yet if this will be my last championship. Right now all I want to enjoy this moment with my teammates, my friends and my family and we will see what the future will bring.
