Raul Gonzalez: 'We deserved the win'

Reactions

Check out the reactions from Raul Gonzalez and Nikola Karabatic after the 38-30 victory over Saint-Raphaël.

RAUL GONZALEZ (PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN HANDBALL COACH):

"They are a good team with good players, so it was tough. In the second half, we got better and better. It worked and it's great for us because it allowed us to move into top spot. We're happy that we did the job we needed to do. The Liqui Moly StarLigue is difficult and you always have to be focused. Now we have to try to rest before the next game, on Wednesday. I think today we deserved the win."

NIKOLA KARABATIC (PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN HANDBALL LEFT-BACK):

"The first half was tight; we know they are a very good team. We were playing well, but we were lacking in defence and that gave them confidence. We even fell behind in the early stages. We fought hard to come back and to be just ahead at the break. We were able to rely on counter-attacks to make the difference in the second half. We know that in the league you have to fight in every game. We were following the league results and we saw that Nantes had lost against Toulouse. It's going to be a very long season and you have to know how to seize opportunities like this."
