Slobodan Kovac – Iran coach:
“We played against one of the best teams in the world. We were much more patient and learnt to maybe not close every ball in the first attack, as in the past. We’ve had a good reception and our setter played really fast – in this case it’s difficult for other teams to play with us. We have tried to stop Zaytsev and I think we succeed in that.”
Mauro Berruto – Italy coach:
“We have to congratulate Iran because they played better in a match of not a high level. I think both teams can play better. Iran deserved to win and showed they are better than us today, especially in ending long rallies. The ability they had to win the long rallies made the difference today.”
