"I´m happy for the guys as they showed good fighting spirit and energy. I like how the team was able to come out the difficult situations many times, when we had our backs against the wall. We must imporove our side-out, if we are able to fix this, we can create good results. I use many players as this team has many different qualities and I want to use it all."

"It was a great fight from both teams and also the level of volleyball was very high. Both teams are young and are going through some changes in the roster, so I´m happy that we managed to win. This was a strong test for my team and we managed to keep the level. When two teams are playing in almost a balance, very small things can decide the result, today it went to our side. I think the moment of the match was at the end of the fifth set when our libero made a crazy save (and one chair flew to the court almost)."
