“When you are losing 2-0, you just go and serve and you try everything to change the result. We were good in the first set when we cruised to an 18-11 lead before Germany came back into the game. We were close to losing that set but we were good enough to win it. While in the locker rooms, after the second set, I told my players we had many chances to win against Germany but we should remember that they never stop fighting. We had to keep the same level we had shown in the second set and not wait for their mistakes. In the third set, we were somehow down, whereas in the fourth, we played point-by-point and we had a few occasions to end this match in our favor, but unfortunately, one challenge was crucial… It is like a fate sometimes, we lost one point by some millimeters, but this is volleyball. I think that Germany played really well and they deserved to win because they believed in it until the end. They won by virtue of their quality, as they played better volleyball than we did in the last three sets. This was the key to their victory,” says Grbic.
Serbia will meet Belgium at 17:30 in a bronze medal game.
