Ioannis Athanasopolous“It was very emotional for me today to coach against my home country. But once the national anthem ended the only thing in my mind was how to help the Czech Republic to win. We played really bad in the first two sets. The level of the game was not high because for both teams it was like a final. We stayed strong mentally and served aggressive in the difficult moments. Congratulations to all the girls, we are very happy to achieve this second win.”
Head coach, Czech Republic
Martha Evdokia Anthouli"It was a bad day. We could've done better. We were very excited to win but unfortunately we didn`t achieve it. Now we have one more game left."
