Viran Morros: 'Play like we did in the last 30 minutes'

News

On Friday night, Paris Saint-Germain Handball won in Limoges (28-41), opening the Lidl Starligue's Round 25. Check out what Jesus Gonzalez, Benoît Kounkoud and Viran Morros had to say after the accomplished win.

Jesus Gonzalez (Paris Saint-Germain Handball assistant coach):
"The key to the game was our defensive change and going 5-1. It allowed us to intercept balls and score on counter-attacks. We were able to make the difference midway through the second half. In the first half, we lost too many balls, especially when we were short-handed. Everyone was able to play today and we were able to try several systems. We are satisfied, because we finished the game without any injuries. We are ready to face Kiel on Wednesday. We know our opponent. It will be a very important match. The first leg will be decisive, because it will set the tone for the quarter-finals. We will have to prepare ourselves well."

Benoît Kounkoud (Paris Saint-Germain Handball right-winger ):
"We're bringing back a nice victory from Limoges. We started the game well, but then we lost a lot of balls and conceded too many goals. We put them back in the game. Our defensive change in the second half brought a new dynamism and we were able to increase the lead thanks to some serious play. We are satisfied, but there are still details to correct. We have to be at 100% before going to Kiel. It was two weeks since we had played together, and we were coming off a defeat against Nantes, so it was important to pull together. We have some very important matches coming up. It is a pivotal moment of the season and we will have to be very concentrated to reach our objectives. We have been in a period for some time where each game is the most important at the moment. Now we switch to the EHF Champions League quarter-final, which is a crucial match, so we will prepare well for this game to play a good game in Kiel. "

Viran Morros (Paris Saint-Germain Handball right-back):
"We played a nice offensive game. In the first half, we conceded too many goals against a Limoges team that played very well, but it was much better in the second half. We facilitated the work of Vincent (Gérard) who had a very good game. We have to be always concentrated, like in the last 30 minutes. We must continue our work. We bounced back after our defeat against Nantes, and that was important. Against Kiel, it will be a very complicated game. They are European Champions and have extraordinary players. We will fight and we will have to have a good attitude during the whole game."
