Shlyapnikov
Slovenian coach Slobodan Kovač: “I’m satisfied with how we played because we led twice 24-22. We did everything right but I think that in those hot moments of the game we just didn’t play with the heart. I felt that my players didn’t believe in this victory, which eventually made the difference.”
Russian coach Sergey Shlyapnikov: “This game was extremely important. My team in the final part of every set played at a high level and showed its strength and character. We were capable of concentrating and playing well at the right moment. Everything seems so easy but today our opponent made it very hard for us. We don’t underestimate the Spaniards we will face on Monday. Everyone comes to European Championship tournament to fight for a win.”
