For us this was very big because everybody saw Cuba as a smaller team. They thought of the other teams, greater teams, bigger teams, powerful. They thought we could never win against Venezuela, that we did not have any possibility or any chances. And here you have it. We know how to play under pressure.
More Quotes from Frederich Cepeda:
Our message is already out there from our international competitions. I think we showed people that baseball is spoken here, baseball and nothing else.Frederich Cepeda
What Cuba has shown to the world is not only that we could play up to par with other major leaguers. We are not professional, we are amateur. We don't get paid for doing this. We deserve a high place in baseball because we do this with sacrifice, with human value and courage and sportsmanship, and because we give our utmost in order to come to the field and show what good baseball is all about.

Victory was so close, but we didn't achieve it. We'll have to learn from this loss to Japan in the next Classic. But we are very proud of this welcome that the people are giving us.
Frederich Cepeda
I think this Classic is historic because it demonstrated that not only the players from the paid major leagues can carry the supremacy. We've demonstrated that what matters is sacrifice, human values and the effort you give on the field.

If we could win Monday, it would be the greatest victory in Cuban baseball history.
