Comments.

Head coach of Italian team Evani Alberigo:

- It was the most difficult match for my team in this tournament. When we played 11-11 we tried to attack, creating scoring chances. In case send off of one of the players, I had to rebuild the entire tactical scheme of the match. Emphasis was replaced on our defense. I am glad that our players have coped with this difficult task. As for the penalties, I prefer to win during the game. I am a sportsman and I don't like the lottery.

Head coach of Turkey Uchar Feyyaz:

- All the Italian teams are always well organized. Many different teams tried to break their defense, but few succeed. Today we were enable to realize advantage in one sportsman more – we played 11 vs 10 Italians. There is no victory without goals scored. Now we have one more problem – we can not play in the majority. In my team we don't train penalties; I think it is not necessary.
