“We knew we were going to face difficulties. These are very difficult games [group stage]. The game was balanced but we failed to win. It’s not lack of capacity. They were better in the serves. The game was close. We wanted to win and now we have to keep working”

“Our spirit has to be to leave everything on the court, regardless of the team we face. We felt we had a chance to get a better result at home. We took a point; we could have gotten the win. But they are a tough team, who play well, who have experience in the Champions League. We knew we were going to face difficulties. They had merit in some moments, but we are also to blame for some wasted opportunities.”

“The most important part is that we won the game. It was a big battle. Both teams were really challenging each other. I’m very happy with the result. Small mistakes decided the outcome of every set. I think it’s a fair result.”

“It’s always amazing to get a victory like this one. I felt that the team fought from the first point. I felt we never gave up, we continued fighting. Even when we were trailing, we try to go for the win.”
