Sergei Shlyapnikov, Coach of Russia: “Congratulations to Iran. We played the worst match of this championship. I am pretty disappointed as my guys did not do what I told them to do. Our setting was really bad today but that is because our setter has been playing with us for just two weeks.”
 
Jovica Cetkovic, Coach of Iran: “The end of the Championship is approaching and we must play all the matches very well. This match was definitely good for my team and it was a sort of preparation for semi-finals. We have to play at 100% in order to get ready for the matches of the next days. I am really satisfied with my guys and 11 of my guys played today. That is fundamental for the preparation for the semi-finals.”
