Tsvetan Sokolov"This is really a big win against a difficult opponent to plays really good in defence and block. We are looking forward and I am really happy.

Silvano Prandi"It was a bad game on our side, but I think we need to be courageous to win a match when playing badly, and we did."
Bulgaria's head coach
Todor Skrimov"It was a very difficult match. We often led the game but they always came back because we lost our focus. We shouldn't do that against Italy and France otherwise we might lose."
