"We were expecting a stronger serve from the team. We thought the other team would be pushing us with their service. But they showed some nerves and emotions, sometimes we had not all the control but we played well and we had planned some things to let them run into mistakes. That’s how we won the game."

"It was a quick game, quicker than we expected. I know that this team is a lot better, but thanks that they did play how they did, because that made it easier. "

“I think it’s really difficult to explain what happened today. We are a young team and we want to enjoy these games, on the other hand this game was a real big one and I think and we just didn’t take a chance when we had one to score points. Today we could see that block and defence is a really important thing and if we want to play on this level, we need to improve. We also need to take more risk at service and reception. We will keep working during the next weeks to get better and take a step to the next level."

"It was a difficult day for us, I think the Russian team was very strong. We had some good moments, but you know the level of their game is high. Their block defense was a big challenge for us. Today was difficult, but I think when we have the second game, we will be better."
