Croatia cannot do much against France's grit
Jean Patry“Today we played our game, with seriousness but also with pleasure. Having fun is important for us, it is our characteristic. If we want to play well, we need to have fun and take pleasure in every point.”
Opposite of France
Tsimafei Zhukouski“I think we showed good Volleyball in some moments, and proved that we can play against a team like France as well. Some of our players got rest before important matches ahead, but we have many younger players and for them, it’s a great experience to play against Olympic champions.”
