Slöetjes
Lonneke Slöetjes, the opposite of the Netherlands and the best scorer of the match:
“I think we did a very good job. We played really clean Volleyball – we didn’t make a lot of mistakes, we served well, felt good on the court and celebrated every point. It was an easy win. I do not want to say anything about the next game because I will jinx it. We will watch the matches and we will be prepared – we’ll see.”
Jamie Morrison, head coach of the Netherlands: “This was a very convincing win. I said before that this team would continue to get better. We will find a thing or two also in this match to improve on for the semi-final and the final. I respect Team Italy a lot. It probably was not their best night, but we did not let them be good – we took care of what we needed to take care of. We were the team that we wanted to be, that we have talked about, so I’m proud of my girls for going out there and doing a good job. We had a really good game plan coming in. They don’t have a lot of weaknesses, but we found a few and went after them, so I’m happy with the result of that process, not just with the score.”
