Maria Segura Palleres, captain of Spain: “It was a really nice victory, we played the first set really good. We were struggling a bit in the second and third set, we were not playing our game. In the fourth we build it up again, we were organise din block-defense. We didn’t do as many mistakes, we controlled the service. It’s a big victory, because I think we are pretty close to qualifying to the Final Four, so we are really happy.”
