Coaching staff: „In the last game of the group stage, the girls were able to improve their performance once again and defeat the leader of their group by showing their best performance so far. In a physical game, they implemented 90% of the game plan and had an answer to every reaction from the opponents. The team acted aggressively in defense and patiently in offense. Thanks to a strong team effort and great fighting spirit, mistakes could be compensated. Tomorrow and the day after, the team has two more rest days before competing for places 17-20″
