Mathieu Grébille: 'That's what preseason is all about'

Reactions

After Paris Saint-Germain Handball's victory over Wetzlar in their third warm-up match (29-30), find out what Raul Gonzalez, Mathieu Grébille and Wallem Peleka had to say.

RAUL GONZALEZ (PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN HANDBALL COACH):

"We played a very good first 45 minutes. We were able to win this match and it's important that we continued our preparations with another victory. Everyone was able to play and do a good job. We're going to recover because tomorrow we have another game, against Gummersbach. We're going to step up a gear and we'll be more focused in the last quarter of an hour than we were today."

MATHIEU GRÉBILLE (PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN HANDBALL LEFT WINGER):

"This is the best opponent we've faced since the start of our preparations. It was a real test, given that they're almost ready for their season to start. So it was a chance to find out where we stand. There were some good things; we managed to extend our lead in the second half, but we were less effective towards the end. Their 7 v 6 game caused us problems. That's good, because it will give us a chance to see what went wrong. We don't have much time to recover before the next game. But that's what preseasons all about."

WALLEM PELEKA (PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN HANDBALL LEFT-BACK):

"We won the match, but we still have a lot of things to sort out in a number of areas. That's normal during preseason. On a personal level, I need to improve my activity and learn to channel my energy. I'm ready to get on with it tomorrow."
