Nataliya Mammadova felt good after her club finished on top of the pool.
“It is good that we have made first place in our group,” Mammadova said. “This is such a good feeling for us. The semifinals are the next step and we hope we can win again tomorrow.”
“We showed our volleyball in the first set,” De Moura said. “It’s a pity we could not win because we led 23-20 in the first set. We had a chance to get back in the succeeding sets but we did not use it well. After that we just lost our confidence in the match. We need to address this in the future.”
“From the statistics, we were able to play our volleyball to some extent” De Souza said. “We just lost concentration in the second set and could not get it back.”
