Greece's captain
Ivan Zaytsev"The Greeks played really well, especially in defence where they put so much energy. It was a problem for us at the beginning of the match and then we found our way to solve the problem. Now, we have to think match by match and then we'll see."
Italy's opposite
Menelaos Kokkinakis"It's our first time in EuroVolley whereas you don't even need to present Italy. So for us it was important to win this set, we gave out our passion, we stayed concentrated, but it was difficult for us to earn more than one set. We definitely enjoyed the game tonight."
