"Very tough match, it was a lot about service and reception. Both teams served really hard I'm happy that we played stable all the time, but it doesn't mean anything. We have to serve better, play better, we have to keep the focus day by day and not think about anything else. Our goal is to improve slowly and play better and better day by day. In the future there will be no easy games, it doesn't matter who the opponent will be."

"Very emotional match against the home team, arena was full of fans and it was very loud. Slovenian guys easily found their confidence even if they lost a point against us because the fans always lifted them up. But we prepared well on their game and I am glad we won 3:0."

"Yes, it is hard to accept defeat in front of full arena, but unforunately we were a little bit short, not patient enough and we lost. Honestly, they were really consistent in serve, which we expected before the match. We thought that we ourserves will be better and we made too many mistakes. Both teams showed good pressure, but unfortunately they were better."

"After yesterdays match we cleared our heads and stepped into this game with a different attitude and a big desire to win. We prepared well for Russia, who was the favourite, but we showed on the court that we belong amongst best european teams. Russians were better today and I congratulate them for their victory. We have to prepare now for the next matches of the tournament."
