"I'm overjoyed about how we fought our way to this win here. To win away in Poland against such a top team is incredibly difficult. We came here to win, and we did it despite this atmosphere. We played really well in block, attack and defence - actually in all elements. That's why I'm very proud of my team today."

"The team couldn't have given me a better return today. It was a very strong team performance. We received well, our scorers delivered and Hannes Tille had a very good pass distribution. He implemented the match plan great. We benefited a bit from the many mistakes they made on the serve, but we also played with a lot of confidence. With this win, this group is more open than ever, and we have two important home matches in the second round!"

“It is really difficult to say something because both team were playing really good in attack and in reception. The level was really high. The biggest difference was service. Once again we play in "Centrum" hall, and we do too many mistakes. The service was the key of this game.”

“This was not our best performance for sure. Congrats to team of BERLIN Recycling Volleys, they played a really great match without many mistakes. We also played like 20 games in November so it's normal that sometimes games can be like - everybody is tired and it's not like an alibi. It was really about our physics, we couldn't handle constant pressure from BR Volleys. “
