First of all I want to thank Lithuanian Football Federation for a very well organised tournament. Our group was very tough, so full credit to our opponents.
I think our defensive structure was a little bit better than in the other teams and that is why we won the group. The best players in my team were our two central defenders: Ulrik Jenssen and Bjørn Utvik.
Elite round draw: 3 December
