Of course I am very happy because of the victory, for me as a young coach this first title is really a special one. But also I want to congratulate the team of Zagreb and Ivica Obrvan coach also, they play a good match, a smart match. We exactly knew what they gonna play and how they gonna play and ... The end I am really satisfied with the victory, but not with the game. I know this is a clear situation and I hope we will play much much better but we need to analyze this match. I really have a lot of things in my head of this match, but when I wake up tomorrow I will be satisfied with this start, as a coach.
