“We tried many solutions, we changed many players, but even when we thought the match was finished in the fourth set, we managed to come back. We lost against a very good team from Australia. They put a lot of pressure with block service, spike, even defense. Yes I’m disappointed we lost, but it was a very good game” said Laurent Tillie, head coach of France.

Team captain Benjamin Toniutti also praised opponent’s game:

“I feel bad because we came back in the fourth set and then we lose the fifth 16-14, which is very difficult because we had such a good World League, we only lost three matches and now we don’t go to Florence. We saw yesterday that Australia played very well, and i think they played much better again today.”
