Felix-Koslowski
“We are extremely happy because we have just won with a team which has so many world-class players! We are still a very young team and beat an opponent who has so much experience, so much physical power, who played incredibly well in the preliminary round, almost finishing first in the pool. Even when we lost a set to 14 or 16, we always came back and fought. Before the match, we said that we want to go out and just play, no matter what happens and no matter what the score is. When we arrived at the tiebreak, we knew that we were where we wanted to be – we wanted them in a tie, we wanted to put them in stress and that was the moment for us to put our courage in the court and push again. What an amazing job the girls did! I think I’m the proudest person in Baku today,” Felix Koslowski, the head coach of Germany, stated after his team eliminated Bulgaria in the Playoffs in Baku, Azerbaijan.
“That scream before the start of the tiebreaker is our ritual, something that we do in the locker room before every match. We got extremely close together and said that we need to celebrate every point as if it were the last one and go for the goal, which is to go to the quarterfinals and then go on further. I’m so proud of our team – we fought so hard and gave so much energy with each point,” the best scorer of Germany against Bulgaria, Louisa Lippmann, said.
