“It was an incredible game, a very nice final with so many emotions and fantastic actions. The best part of the match was the mental side – both teams fought with all their forces until luck decided the game. Brazil was supposed to win, but that defense of Ngapeth that landed on the corner changed the outcome of the match. And then, Le Roux smashed the way from the serve. Volleyball is like that: you have to work maybe for only three points. To stay in the game just for a moment like that. This championship is my biggest satisfaction; World League has an incredible atmosphere with such great fans and to win it again is awesome.” said Laurent Tillie.
On the other side Renan Dal Zotto, coach of Brazil said: “We’re sad about the loss, but I think we are on the right track. Both teams reached this final match as the best two teams in the Preliminary Round, France first and Brazil second. We weren’t here for any other reason than the good things we’ve done so far. We deserved this place on the final match as well as being among the world’s best teams.”
