Bernardo Rezende, coach of Brazil: “I think we played a good match. We are working hard for serving, it is very important for every team in the world. Maybe in previous years we had problem in this element, but we are trying to fix it. We were worried before the game, because Lucarelli had a problem with his back, but now everything looks fine and we are happy. It is very important for young players, like him or Mauricio to be in the game, especially before the Olympics. Last year we didn’t manage to reach the semi-finals.”
Gianlorenzo Blengini, coach of Italy: “First, I want to congratulate Brazil. They played so good and obviously the result is positive for them. We did not play as we wanted to. Big difference was in the serve and spike. We could not find a solution to go out from our difficult situation and they spikers could do anything they wanted to do with us. We had problem with reception and with ending in the first tempo. The efficiency of our attacks was not enough to fight tonight.”
