Sweden’s dream run ends after a straight-sets loss to The Netherlands
Elles Dambrink“It was our sixth match of the tournament and we’ve already beaten Sweden. The pressure was on us after two days of rest. It is such an amazing experience to play so young in the national team. Now we go to the final four hoping for a medal.”
Opposite, The Netherlands
Avital Selinger“Sweden is on a way up, they got a big confidence boost after beating Bulgaria. They have an outstanding player in Haak with good supporting cast that can play defense. It’s hard to beat the same team twice in the tournament. We have a new team with many youngsters in it. We are very happy to get the experience of playing in the final four of EuroVolley 2021. Hopefully we can play free and will see how far we can go.”
Head Coach, The Netherlands
Alexandra Lazic”It's been a really fantastic journey for us. Of course, today it's hard to say exactly how amazing it was for us, because we lost 0-3. But after a few days of rest we will completely understand what we have done. I really couldn't wish for a better tournament. In the beginning we thought we are close to another unbelievable night, we were close to them, but after we lost by such a small margin, it was like our energy went out. But until the very last point we still fight like we always do.”
