Despite this huge success, Grbić remained calm after the big finals.
“I told my players – You don’t have to be perfect. It is not the perfection that will bring you the trophy. Just be what you are and play with your heart.”
When asked if he expected a straight sets win over Brazil, Grbić answered…
“Absolutely not. It is really rare to win 3-0 at this level. This is Brazil. I do not remember when was the last time someone has beaten Brazil by 3-0. Our advantage was that we did not have Olympics on our mind. But, we still earned this gold medal by working hard every day this summer.”
