«This is a pre-season match, so far we have not predictably picked up the form we want to see in the future. Any of the teams could have won today. Successful actions in the end helped us to win».

«I am glad to win. I think we showed a solid game today, despite the absence of four guys. We need to improve our defense and share the ball more. I am sure that step by step we will continue to form team chemistry and become better».
