Giovanni CAPRARA, head coach of Azerbaijan:
"It is very difficult to play in the European Championship especially a match with so fast game like this. We only played three official matches before the tournament since the European League, and today we weren't good in the attack. We were lucky that we managed to win this match. I hope we can improve during the tournament and we can play better."
Daniele SANTARELLI"We've waited one set to enter the game. In the 2nd and 3rd set we played great. In the fifth we had 10-7 lead, but we couldn't secure four-five more points, we gave the opponent a chance to win."
