Paykan Tehran Coach Peyman Akbari: Congratulation for the Polish team. We started our training sessions 10 days ago and to participate in such a big competition you have to prepare yourself since two months ago. The team that we are participating today is 80 percent different from the last one we participated last edition. A lot of personal mistakes were the reason for this defeat. At the end I wish good luck for the big coach Lorenzo Bernardi.
