Cansu Özbay, player and setter of Turkey: “This game was very important to us because it was a key match. We have only two more matches remaining in the pool phase.
If we win the Serbia and France matches, we will finish first in the pool. That is why this win was so important to us. Of course, it is not over and we will keep fighting. I think our concentration dropped slightly in the third set. Maybe there was a little relief after leading 2-0. We did not get enough of what Giovanni [Guidetti] wanted. After the third set, we found our focus again and played the game we needed to play.
Our next opponent France is a very good team. No match here is easy, so all we have to do is to fight and win every game.”
Mira Todorova“It was a hard, intense game. We put a lot of effort but unfortunately lost because of our own mistakes. Mistakes were the main reason concerning the change in the course of the game from the third set to the fourth. We played a lot better in defence in the third than we did in the fourth, where we made more mistakes. Maybe there was much pressure on us and Turkey started to push us more. We are still fighting for qualifying to the next round. We will give our best in the next two matches.”
