Matej Miskovic: «I’m very proud because that we are living this week is amazing for all of us. My players are 2 years younger than the other teams and I’ m so happy that I can not talk about it. I just want to say congratulations to all of my players and to the technical staff for the result. We make history!»
Ahmed Alnajem: «It was a very difficult game against Egypt because our opponents are a very organised team with good technics. My players gave an excellent match. They could control from the first minute the game. The phase of penalties is more luck than “clean” victory but I’m so happy about the 5th place. We are thankful for the invitation, we want to say that this organisation is excellent and Greeks are so kind. We hope to be here next year!»
