France Head coach Marc Francastel:
“It is difficult for the team to play after a day off. That too my boys had that depression of not qualifying for the next stage. Of course, it is all in the game.”

France captain Benjamin Toniutti:
“After a great disappointment it was difficult for us. But we would like to finish ninth here.”

Egypt Asst Coach Hassan:
“We continued to suffer because of bad reception. And our boys could not succeed in block too.”

Egypt captain Mohamed Badr:
“It is very bad we could not improve our reception. We had good situations to win but we failed to utilize them.”
