French voices after semi-final, Karabatic, Descat & Desbonnet: Amazing match!
French players at the mix zone of the Lanxess Arena was excited:
– Amazing game, what can I say? To win semi-final like this never happened in my career. We never back down, we believe in ourselves. Palicka was stopping everything in second half, but we believe in our chances – said Nikola Karabatic and get reminded about EHF EURO 2014 final in Herning 10 years ago.
– It will be a tough day, I just hope to play like in the first half against Sweden, not like in the second.
Goalkeeeper Remi Desbonnet explained it like this:
– We came from hell and now we are in heaven. It was an amazing match. Congratulations for both teams. We played good first half, they increased level in the second, and at the end, what a shoot by Elohim. I don’t know where guys found energy, but they were amazing in defense in the last few minutes of extra-time – said French goalkeeper.
Left wing Hugo Descat has been overexcited:
– F…ing crazy, we did almost perfect first half and then beginning of the second was terrible for us. Their defense was amazing, goalkeeper also, and we almost lost, but Elohim Prandi scored that goal and with him everything can happen. Now, final, we work hard for that match – said Telekom Veszprem left wing.
