The Netherlands are first to reach the #EuroVolleyW Quarter Finals
Nika Daalderop"It's always difficult to play against Germany as they are a team that fights a lot. When you win one set, it doesn't mean that you will win the next one. I am really happy that we fought hard and got the victory. It will be really tough to play in front of the Bulgarian crowd in case we face them in the next stage but we do not have preferences. It will be a nice challenge to face both of the teams."
Otside spiker, The Netherlands
Lina Alsmeier“The Dutch team definitely played better on block and defense than us. That was the key in the end for the win. It’s super hard for us to leave the tournament, we’re sad. Overall I think we did a great job. We are disappointed about today’s match but we have room for further improvement. We learned a lot and we’ll come back stronger.”
