André Prins: I´ve never been on tournament like that before

Czech team did not reach the final. We asked the headcoach of Czech team about the tournament, the games and about his feelings. He was very satisfied with the championship and he’s looking forward to world championship.

 
 
 

What were your feelings after the game?

„About the game, I’m disappointed. We didn’t beat our best.“

What was the difference between these two games?

„This is a game of no return. If you lose, you’re out. The first game wasn’t like that. We could win, but we still had a chance against Great Britain. The second one was important for both of teams. And also playing so late and then coming early in the morning is very dificult.“
