    Day 6 Recap

    Play

    “It was a hard game, we were little bit relaxed and we were thinking it will be an easy game, so coach put the second six for court to play. We have to be strong together, we prepared for the next opponent and for play-offs. We didn’t respect enough our opponent so next time we have to be more respectful. It was a though game, we made many mistakes, I hope tomorrow it will be easier and we can keep our energy for the next stage.”

    Andre OJAMETS, head coach of Estonia:


    “It was our last match in the European Championship, that was the last chance to show how can we play. We fought till the end, but the quality of Rahimova was too much today. I'm very proud of my girls, that was our best game in the tournament."

    Kertu LAAK, opposite of Estonia:


    “I think we gave out everything today and we didn't leave anything in our back-pocket. That was what we wanted on our last game. Everybody gave the maximum. Thanks everything for our fans and for everybody.”
