Pankov and Mazzanti
Russian head coach Vadim Pankov said: “Several star players were missing from Italy’s team today. However, they are still strong. Although younger Italian players like Elena Pietrini, Marina Lubian, Rossella Olivotto and Anastasia Guerra are strong enough to show a good performance, I am satisfied with the result of today’s game.”
Italian head coach Davide Mazzanti said: “The Russia team did a good job. I am disappointed at today’s performance. We lost our confidence after the first set and made a lot of mistakes. We lost because we could not show our attacking skills.”
