Olivier Nyokas (HBC Nantes) spoke to Peter Bruun at the VELUX EHF FINAL4 media call:

“As long as the score is 0:0 at the start, we have just as good a chance as all the others.

“We all realise that we are underdogs, but that is actually a role we enjoy, and we are very, very motivated. We have done well this season so far, and once we have got this far, anything is possible.

“Of course, Paris will be very hard to beat in the semi-final, and they are obviously favourites, but by staying focused, I think we can go far.

“We are not used to all the activity around the games, so it will be crucial for us to just concentrate on the match itself.”
