After the matche, Russia coach Andrey Voronkov said:
“I think we played a good match today and our main concern was to deal with Atanasijević and his serves and spikes. We were also concerned about our serve and reception. I am very glad that we played in this special stadium with a nice atmosphere and that we can decide ourselves if we are crowned champions. It was a good experience, thanks to the supporters and spectators and even though it was an unusual to play at a football stadium it was a good match”.
