“The atmosphere is calm: we needed this victory, we deserved it and it gives us even more strength to move forward with calmness.

“Even if it’s difficult not to, we try not to think about anything other than ourselves. We needed this win to convince ourselves that we’re a great group.

“The Coach makes us give our best in every training session. We have to listen to him and go on like this.”
