“We had a chance in the first set but in a couple of plays, we weren’t aggressive enough. Teams like Russia never forgive mistakes and destroy the teams that make them. Before our next match everything needs to be better,” says Sokolov.
“We couldn’t show our skills and all the things we are capable of on the court. One of our main assets is the serve but today, just as in the World League, it was more of a problem – we started to serve better in the end but it was just too late. Even though Russia played very well in every element of the game I don’t think they were much better than us. They won a couple of decisive points and it gave them a victory today,” says Nikolay Nikolov, the middle blocker of Bulgaria.
