Dragan Adžić, trener RK Krim Mercator: »Ekipa Vipersa Kristiansanda je izvrstna napadalna ekipa, ki ji nismo mogli konkurirati. Imeli smo veliko težav z igro v obrambi. Zagotovo je bilo tudi nekaj pozitivnih stvari. Prepričan sem, da se bomo zbrali in proti CSM Bucaresti odigrali najboljšo tekmo v tej sezoni.«

Tjaša Stanko, rokometašica RK Krim Mercator: »Žal smo tekmo izgubile in točki ostajata na Norveškem. V obrambi enostavno nismo našle rešitev za Vipers, ki kot evropski prvak napada odlično. Časa za razmislek zdaj ni veliko. V ponedeljek se začenjajo priprave na tekmo s CSM Bucuresti in verjamem v ekipo, da si lahko doma priigramo zmago!«
