Gilles Eyquem, France coach
Our goal is to win the trophy. We have prepared well, are ambitious and ready to perform. We arrived two days ago and the facilities are great. The players aren’t nervous. We’ve had a two-week training camp so they cannot wait to get going. The Netherlands, Germany and Spain are strong teams – I reckon they are our main rivals for the title.
Nils Lexerød, Norway coach
