Overview
In Portugal’s fifth appearance at the EuroVolley, they are keen to beat the 2015 EuroVolley Champions. They recently met at the Volleyball Nations League, which ended in a 3-0 win for France.
Marco Ferreira"Our goal is growing up, match by match. We knew it was a very difficult group. For most of us it is the first time in a European Championship so we look forward to the French atmosphere."
Portugal's Opposite
Laurent Tillie"I think we will have a good fight. Portugal can play very hard with good outside hitters. It will be a tough game. Earvin Ngapeth is doing better, he will do more during the warm-up but it is longer than we thought."

Jenia Grebennikov"It was very important for us to win this game 3-0. We played really good in the first set, but after this Portugal started to play better. Both Bulgaria and Italy are good teams and we look forward to those matches. We all have a lot of friends in both sides, so it will be interesting."

Barthélémy Chinenyeze"I'm happy that I was called in to play yesterday, to really get into the competition, and today I played too so pressure is off. The Bulgarian middle blockers might be tough to handle but we fear nobody."
