Post-game quotes:
Cristian Bota, head coach of Timisoara for this game: “I congratulate the entire team for their effort. It was not easy for us, because we played with a short roster, without two players. In the end, it turned out well. Lazar got injured in the last training, things like this happen. This qualification means a lot to us, our team has not played in European cups for ten years. It is a step forward into the future. We did not expect such a good course in the Alpe Adria Cup, but we are performing very well and we want to continue the winning streak. We will recover our captain Laszlo Lazar in 3-4 days.”
Adam Mirković, player of Timisoara: “It was difficult for us, because we have a break for 2-3 weeks. We took it seriously. Our coach was not here, he is with the national team, and we didn’t have two players who couldn’t play today. We were serious from the beginning and with a short roster we played good for over 30 minutes. At the end it is a good victory for us, we go into the quarter-finals and it is a good success for us.”
