Azerbaijan
Nataliya Mammadova, outside hitter of Azerbaijan:
“We made many mistakes in the beginning of the first set. However, after this rough start, we calmed down and showed our best volleyball. Azerbaijan need a victory to be able to fulfill our dream – which is to win a medal at this European Championship. Tomorrow we will play against The Netherlands in the semis. The opponent we will face is a very strong one but our team will try to beat the Oranjes.”
Valeriya Mammadova Korotenka, libero of the host team: “After 12 years we have made it again to a European Championship semi-final. It such an emotion! After celebrating a victory against Germany, we can start thinking about the medals. This quarterfinal was very difficult, Germany showed good volleyball but they could not stop us in the end.”
