QUOTES
Laurent Puigsegur, head coach of France: Today I could play with handballers that in previous matches had less time on the field. This match is a history, right now we focus on match with Korea. This result will be crucial, because the winner of this match will be also the winner of the group.
Berik Beknazarov, head coach of Kazakhstan: I am aware that the teams in our group: Korea, France and Spain are well-trained and we know from the start that we don’t have a big chance against them. Our goal is to be in the top twenty, but we know that it will be difficult to achieve this. Our defeat with Tunisia made this aim very difficult. We are in Poland for the first time. Everything is well organized here, but unfortunately we didn’t have the time to know the city better. Three of our very good players had to stay in the country because of serious injuries.
