- Our group is very interesting – said coach of the polish national team Andrea Anastasi. However, the real fight will start in quarterfinals. We will do our best to play here on the stadium in Copenhagen.

- Once should not say it is an easy group – said President of the PVF Mirosław Przedpełski. – Every match should be carefully analyzed and seriously treated. Let us remember that in the European Championships in Izmir, although everyone said we were the weakest group, we managed to face France in the very final. Even though the beginning of the tournament would seem not so difficult, the later phases are going to be very difficult. We have to win in our not to face Russia in the quarterfinal, which should win in its group.
