In addition to the defeat we have a bad set difference (12-8) but this season we have found ourselves in similar situations and managed to survive. We have to be realistic and say how many obstacles we faced during this season including some accidents illness pregnancy … At the end we played the final without first three players. With all these circumstances we have to be proud by having place in the ECLW final.”
