Celeste PLAK, outside hitter of the Netherlands:
“I'm happy that we won this game 3-0, because in the past we had some troubles against Croatia, they are not an easy team, and they have really good players. Today we were really dominant, so I’m happy that we kept the pressure high. In the third set they came back a little bit. We let them play, but I’m happy that in the end we could finish this match in straight sets.”
Jamie MORRISON"I think we can be better and a little bit more aggressive in everything what we do. We talked about that during the match. I'm happy, we won three in row, but we can do better. Maret will be fine. She had pain in her ankle, but I think she will be back during the tournament."

Karla KLARIC, outside hitter of Croatia:
"The main reason of this defeat was our bad start, we didn't find the rhythm in the first set, and we were not so efficient in attack. After the first break, we were pushing a little bit more, and we played obviously better. Of course, we are disappointed, because we lost 3-0, but now we have to focus on our next game against Romania."
