Petar Porobić (Montenegro head coach): We have yet a lot of work to do in order to start playing the way we want again. This wasn't our best of games, but that is not surprising, because we are at the beginning of this new competitions cycle. This game shows that we have a lot of hard work ahead of us if we want to advance in our way of playing.  


Paolo Malara (Italy head coach) : We had a good game, despite the fact we lost I am satisfied. We had certain problems since we are not physically strong as Montenegro, who are except that great players. I was curious to see how wil my players react to playing against an oponnent this strong at the start of this cycle of competitions this summer and I am satisfied despite the loss.
