One of the best men on Dutch side Rob Bontje: “We let go too many chances and could not make the difference on the most decisive moments. We let the Italians escape from the third set on. Tomorrow we can take our revenge hopefully.”
Italian Emanuele Birarelli: “In the first and second set we were really nervous, this was an important match for us. We made too many mistakes and the Dutch had a great defence. After these two sets we played better and better, especially in blocking we made the difference. Hopefully we won’t be nervous again tomorrow and beat the Netherlands again.”
