Todor Skrimov"It was a good win for us. Luckily we won that first tight set otherwise it could have ended differently. Romania was a team I did not know but they greatly surprised me, they played really well. We'll have to make fewer mistakes against teams like Italy or France in order to win those."

Laurentiu Lica"When you lose two games 3-0, it's difficult. It's true that we were closer to win a set today, but we don't have enough experience in the ends of sets in order to really earn something."

Ciprian Matei"After this game, I am upset. We started badly, then we recovered, but after that we made some stupid mistakes. Bulgaria missed less than us, and that is why they won 3-0."

Martin Atanasov"I'm happy that everybody gave 100% today to get 6 points after two matches. If we keep playing like this, better and better, our main goal is to go to Paris for the finals."
