- We played against very good team and we lost. I hope that we will play better next time. We lost because we made some mistake in our defense and three in very important moments.  We will play very important matches in EHF cup in 2 days, so I expect that we will do our best and win.

Peter Hatalčik, coach of Tatran Presov

- I'm very satisfied, because it was very hard match. We lead during all whole game and so we finished match in our favors. We was little bit disappoint because of bad result in the Qualifications for EHF Champions League, but this night we started very good, so I hope we will continue in the same way.  

Željko Babić, coach of Meshkov Brest

- We were able to "catch" Tatran in the second half, but then we weren't able to score goals. We had a lot of problem with injured players last 2 weeks. Three very important players didn't practice for a long period and that is one of the reasons that we didn't played better. It is not reason to cry, we must turn back to the trainings and do it even more dedicate and improve during the days and weeks, because this is just beginning of the season.
