VfB coach Ulf Quell, who represented the absent head coach Stelian Moculescu said: “We have played very well. At the beginning of the third set we were down. We must continue working to ensure that we dominate the game from start to finish.“
VC coach Sven Dörendahl: “I’m disappointed. It brings us nothing if we play only one good set. Following the disappointing first and second set, we had a better third but it does not satisfy us.“
