Yelzaveta SAMADOVA“It was a much better game than yesterday, when we weren’t ready and Estonia played really good. We had a meeting and a video to watch Romania, and we came 100% prepared for this game. We played focused, so we could win the match.”

Giovanni CAPRARA, head coach of Azerbaijan:
"It was not difficult game, beacuse Polina served incredible. During the match we had some situations which were not perfect, but the most important was the win. The second place is very good for us. I don't care who's the next opponent. The most important to play well in Round of 16."
Luciano PEDULLA"At the beginning of the game, we couldn't do anything against the service of Polina Rahimova. Our young players didn't know what they have to do in this situation. During the breaks, I tried to increase their self-confidence, and in the third set, they showed that they can play much better."
head coach of Romania
Alexandra TRICA, outside spiker of Romania:
"We knew that our opponent is full of motivation, because they lost one point yesterday, but today we were not able to find our rhythm. We have only 1% chance in the eighth-final, but we will prepare well, and try to play better than today."
