“We played really well. We did a very good job in defence and block, and counter-attacks. I am very happy that my team played the Brazilian way. Japan served a little bit hard and No.6 (Yurie Nabeya) gave us a lot of problems. We also had a problem in position two, but we still won and this is what’s important for us.” said Ze Roberto.
On the other side captain of Japan, Saori Kimura wasn’t satisfied:
“We struggled so much to stop their attack in this game, as it would just land either on our front or on the back of our court. We really had a difficult time to block their attacks. We couldn’t find our rhythm.“
