Poland celebrated
Bulgaria captain Strashimira Filipova: “Poland’s advantage in this match where their serves. This made it difficult for us to play a tactical game. For tomorrow we have to learn from our mistakes of today, if we want to reach the next round in this tournament.”
Poland captain Katarzyna Ewa Skowronska-Dolata: “Today we took a big step towards the next round of the championship. I don’t need to say how important it is now to prepare properly for tomorrow.”
Bulgaria head coach Marcello Abbondanza: “I’m very sad about this loss because this match could have turned also our way in order to win the first place in our group. While the first set could have been won, the third set was way out of our reach. This very unstable performance is following us since the beginning of this season. First we win a game and the next one seems to be twice as hard and we lose.”
Poland head coach Piotr Makowski: “First of all I would like to thank our fans for all of their support today. All this cheering really made the difference for us; it gave my team an energy that was not to be expected. We did not start very well, so I had to react by making some changes to the starting six. We won this game because of our good serves and our hard fighting. Due to this win, we have now a chance to take the first place in our group.”
