After a defeat in Osijek, head coach Damir Buric said:

"First I want to congratulate Osijek, they were highly motivated, engaged and they showed huge desire to win this match. On the other hand, we were the complete opposite of what I was expecting and there is a lot to discuss in the upcoming days, during the break."

"We now have enough time to analyze the last two matches and to see what happened, first against Rijeka and now against Osijek. I said that we should have learned from the defeat against Rijeka, but instead we played even worse in Osijek. Especially in the first half."
