Miriam Sylla“It was not easy to stay focussed for the whole match. We did not know much about Hungary and their players, and they surprised us a number of times because they served really well. I have not watched much of Croatia’s matches this far, probably one set only, but I am sure that we will be ready for that match when the time comes.”
Captain of Italy
Zsofia Gyimes“It is always an honour to play against a team like this, which is one of the best in the world. We came here to just really have fun and enjoy the game against some great opponents. I am really happy that we had a really good service, we served tough and we got some aces. We also had some blocks, which is great against tall girls like the Italians. Of course, I wished that the game would be a little bit longer, but still I am pretty happy with how we played.”
