COACHES´ REACTIONS
Marian Hambalek (SVK): "In the second game, I feel like our girls didn’t even show up; we probably underestimated the Czech players in our minds. However, the preparatory double-header met our expectations in any case. We saw new young girls in action, and 13-14-year-old girls got to experience the pressure of such a game and wear the national jersey."
Kristina Macatova (CZE): "I think we learned from the mistakes we made in the previous match. Our performance was absolutely great, and we are very satisfied with how the game went. Before this match, we encouraged the players to communicate more with each other, to help the defense more, to follow up on rebounds, and to shoot more. The hard work throughout the entire game paid off for us. During the shootouts, we felt nervous, but we had confidence in our goalie, who didn't let us down, and we had excellent shooters. We are happy."
