Gilberto GODOY FILHO (BRA) - captain
On the match:
"Today was a very hard match for us. Russia had good
blocking and defence. Brazil did too, but we lost in the counterattack. I think
this was the key point of the match. Brazil played very well, but Russia was
better."
On his shoulder injury:
"My shoulder is better. I need to wait though. The
competition is long. I need to do physiotherapy and have medicals before each
time I play."
"Brazil have 12 players. I want to play but I don't
want to create trouble for the team. At the moment there are others playing
better than me and they are better physically."
Vadim KHAMUTTSKIKH (RUS) - captain
