"Kielce and Veszprem are much stronger team from Zagreb and a better than RN Löwen and Göppingen who beat us at Kempa Cup. However, our result is not important, it is important that boys need to feel game like this because now you lose from Löwen with four goals differences, and for three months with a three goals difference. Then we may surprise them. I hope we can play much better against Kielce Veszprem, and we lose with smaller goal difference, and who knows, maybe could surprise then, as we'll play two 20 minutes half times, revealed coach Boris Dvoršek.
