-We had old 1995 legends in the booth. It was nice to see a little outdated idols, many of them were a role model for me in due course, said striker Harri Pesonen.

– There was a good message that we have to see opportunities, optimistically move forward and we have a great opportunity to succeed today. With that feeling, let’s get into the game.

– The message of Saku was to pull openly, Pennanen said.
