Reaction
Zoran Vulić, Croatia coach
I'm pleased with how my team played over the entire tournament. We deservedly took first place. In the match against Turkey I didn't use some important players due to yellow cards being transferred to the elite round, and I'm very sorry because some of these players are from Sibenik, where the game was played. Now we boldly go further. Our expectations are high.

Elite round draw: 3 December
