Joanna Wołosz"It was the first "do or die" game in this tournament so the emotions were completely different. The Spanish team showed some incredible defense and had some risky service. I'm glad we managed to be calm today and did what we were supposed to do - got a 3-0 win"
setter of Poland
Jessica Rivero"We are way shorter than the Polish players and we are not as physically strong yet so it takes a lot of power in defence to play close sets with a top team like Poland. Therefore, I can say I'm glad we presented some good rallys and real involvement. We learned how to play like a team at this Eurovolley and it can only pay off in the future"
