Favourites knocked out in quarter-finals as battle on sand continues
After three days of spectacular matches on the sandy courts of Porto Santo, Portugal, we're getting closer to finding out who will be crowned champions at the EHF Beach Handball Champions Cup 2024. Intense quarter-finals determined the teams that will battle it out for medals.
I'm very disappointed, I think I can speak in the name of all players. The defence was very strong, very good but that wasn't enough. But we won the first five matches, they were really good. We're satisfied with the overall performance, but it would've been great if we won in quarter-final.
I'm really happy that we won. I think we have a good defence and scoring sometimes goes easy, something tough but in general we're a good team with a lot of good players. Hopefully we beat CATS again in semi-final, but we have to do great because otherwise we won't win.
We have really great defence and we can rely on them. They give us so much calm and confidence, so we can do in attack whatever we want. We expect a good game and a tough opponent in the semi-final. Of course, our aim for every match is to win, so now we'll get some rest and find a way how to win another match.
We're really disappointed because every time we play against these guys (Rødby Beach Boys) we lose on shootout, same as last year. It's tough. It's hard to be happy for a great tournament that we've played. We just really wanted to win this game so we can compete in semi-finals tomorrow.
