In his assessment of the two matches in Moscow, Brazil’s libero Mario Jr. said, “These friendlies are important preparation at the beginning of the World League. The games helped us a lot and I think the team will be ready for next week when we start the long walk that lies ahead.”

His team-mate Dante was also pleased with the performance of the Brazilian team in the friendlies held this weekend. “The team is well prepared. The team is focused, well-structured and we are creating a game format with the new cycle that begins now. The two friendlies were very good for our team. We played against a selection that is heavy on serve and blocking. We won both games and we are now at full strength to begin the World League,” said Dante.
