Mina Popovic, player of Serbia: “We did not start as we had to and we had too many ups and downs. At the end, we still managed to win the game 3-0, which is always a good thing of course. I think the opponent was extremely good, especially at the beginning of the match. They had a very good attack and I think they prepared very well for this match. Our coach tried some players who did not play so much this far."
"How we have to prepare to play even better in the quarterfinals. We already played against Bulgaria because we were in the same group here in Ankara. We did not play against Azerbaijan this year, but whomever we play against, it is not going to be easy. It is the quarterfinals of EuroVolley, so everybody is motivated and we just want to improve the level of our performance with every match.”
Luciano Pedullà“I expected my players to take on this match with a good attitude. We were very close to Serbia in all three sets. I know that not all of the starting players from Serbia were on the court but we worked very well and always kept a smile on our faces. We fought for every ball until the end. I think that this EuroVolley journey was important for the development of our team.”
Coach of Romania
