Lonneke-Sloetjes-10
“I don’t know what happened (at the end of the 4th set). We couldn’t score and they kept scoring everything. I think we only hit the block a couple of times, we missed some serves and made our own errors. Azerbaijan did a very good job by fighting back and the audience was really behind them, like a seventh player on the court. You could feel this wall of sounds all around you. I am very proud that we kept our calm in the fifth set, even though the crowd was going crazy and Azerbaijan played really well,” Lonneke Slöetjes, the second best scorer of the Dutch Team against Azerbaijan, said.
“I think back about what I could have done better (referring to the final section of the fourth set), about what the team could have done better, but I told them at the time-out that that’s over and that now we start at 0-0 in the next set. They did a good job – we just reset and became the team that we were at the beginning of the fourth. We just remembered who we were and went back to being that team. And that team is pretty good,” Jamie Morrison, the head coach of The Netherlands, stated.
