Bengt Johansson (Sweden):
"Congratulations to Italy. Handball is above all motivation and today my team wasn’t motivated enough. If we would have had to win today, I would have put up a very different team. Today we played too slow; only in the first half we played fast, then we slowed down. I see a great future for Italy. The semifinals against Russia will be difficult, but we want to win and we could do it."
Lino Cervar (Italy):
"Sweden’s compliments make me proud, because they have always been an example for us. Italy never gave up; we lost on court, but never mentally. Montalto will be the heir of the great champions. It hasn’t been very easy for us, because we were left without most of our best players since the beginning of the Championships."
