Zaytsev
In the first round of the Rio 2016 men’s volleyball tournament, Italy scored a superior straight sets win over France. After the game, Ivan Zaytsev gave an interesting statement for the Italian media.
“This win was not just a coincidence. We were convinced that we are capable of winning the match in straight sets. We wanted the take a bit of revenge for the last two defeats against France, and for all those “smiles” and provocations from their side. That is what they do when they are winning. Now, we showed that we are tired of listening to those stories of “How beautiful France is playing” or “How Ngapeth is good”. Yes, they are a strong team, they won the World League and the European Championship, but now we proved that we are good as well. And I am glad because of that,” said Zaytsev for ivolleymagazine.it.
