We were without two important players, but that is just how it is during a season. Sometimes you have all of your players, and sometimes you have injuries, but I think we played two tough matches. Today it was hard because we lost at home and Esbjerg could control the score.

We went into the match today with a lot of tension. We saw in the first leg that Brest is a difficult team with strong players, so we are very happy to get to the quarter finals because it was an equal match between the teams.
