■ Grimm affirmed the team's positive performance on the court.

Grimm said: "I saw that we played like a team and the tactical plan was implemented very well. Everyone did their best. The task. We could change to a five-back formation and that's what we did. It also came from the players' initiative and they had the opportunity to participate in the development of the game plan. "

"We executed our game plan and did it well. "We had a lot of preparation before the game, but unfortunately we didn't take advantage of the opportunities we got. I think we're in a very clear position now, but the key is to continue to grow together and keep confidence in what we're doing now. I think this game will help us prepare for Sunday's game."
