opposite (RUS)
Igor Kobzar"The atmosphere in the arena was great! We are happy to play in such environment. I forgot that we are playing in Slovenia and thought we are in Finland. We saw that our team is not optimally prepared yet, there is still a lot of space for improvement. We will need to lift our level if we want to win against Slovenia."
setter and team captain (RUS)
Joel Banks"I think overall in these three games we've given a good account of ourselves. If we don't pass with Turkey then everyone including us will look back at yesterday's match against Belarus. We did not expect to win against Russia. They're the best team in our pool and probably in the top 2 in the tournament. We can be proud of our fighting spirit and mentality, we've played against very good players. It was a big challenge for us and I think we did great."
head coach (FIN)
Antti Siltala"The match was tough, but our eyes are already on team Turkey. I think that today we played really okay. We've had our chances but the game went in the other direction. We will start focusing on Turkey now."
