Post-Match Reactions
“I have many reasons to be happy today. First because of the victory, we won significantly and the image of the team was fabulous. But there is still room for improvement. When you get flattered and believe it, you become weaker. Satisfaction can kill you.”Source: Geo Super (Reuters)
“Spain undoubtedly delivered their best performance of the tournament today, by far. And, I might be taking a risk in saying this, but I wouldn't be surprised if we had faced not only the reigning European champions, but also the future world champions. If they continue to play at this level, it will be extremely difficult to beat the Spanish.”Source: The Tribune (ANI/L'Equipe)
