About the match
” We had a superb start, set up a strong defense, they did not manage to go through our wall, and our goalkeeper saved also their shoots, then the difference became bigger and we had a period with lack of concentration and the opponent played themselves back into the match.
About the team
“It showed a strong mentality that we never let them to take the control of the match, and kept playing our play.
About herself
“I had a very good period in the first half, I am happy that it came out this way, so I could help the team. I hope that our play will be at the same level in this tournament and we can go far away in this World Championship.
About next game against Montenegro
” First we have to rest, tomorrow is a free day. Then we will prepare against Montenegro, they also had a difficult match today I think against Japan.
Montenegro played a draw against Serbia, so we don’t have to be afraid of them, just have to prepare well, try to stop them to be able to play their own game and hope for the best. It will be a difficult match with lot of fighting, but we know what we have to do.
Zita Szucsánszki (HUN), playmaker:
About the game
“We started very well the game, gained a big advantage, the the opponent started to defend in an offensive way, but also in a sneaky, punching way. There is a lot of such movements in a handball match, but honestly we don’t really like when we are hit and punched during an entire game, without big consequences. I have pain in my body after such a game, but I am proud that my team overcome mentally everything and won the game at a clear advantage.
About Montenegro
“It will be as hard as this game was, but we have a day to rest and we will prepare for the next battle, I can promise.
