Renan-Dal-Zotto
So far, Renan Dal Zotto’s protégés did not let down their fans and advanced to the finals as they beat United States in the semis.
“This was a conquest for us as we had little time to prepare the game because we found out about our rival late last night. Until the end of the tie-break we didn’t know who we had to face. And the team showed a lot of commitment on that situation; the guys are growing and we reach this final match at a good moment,” Renan said about the encounter vs. USA.
“They’re a better team. We didn’t play our best volleyball match, but Brazil did some really great things today. They put quite a lot of pressure on us. When you play against a great team like this, especially for guys doing it for the first time, it’s a big challenge. We didn’t play with the same kind of emotions and energy consistently enough during the match, something that had typified our run through this World League, so far. Hopefully, tomorrow we can play a better volleyball, to play hard and the objective is the exact same than today – to win,” the U.S. head coach John Speraw explained the reasons for losing semi-final match to Brazil.
