Russia
Head coach Vladimir Kuzyutkin:
“I think Puerto Rico played well against us. It’s a great pride that Puerto Rico is a small country, but has a great volleyball team like this. We played up to our standard. My aim is to see Russia qualify to the 2012 London Olympic Games. It’s a sorry tale as I signed a two-year contract to be the Russia’s head coach.â€
Captain Marina Sheshenina:
“We played well. We trained hard in preparation for the tough match against Puerto Rico. I’m glad that we can beat them to avenge the last week’s loss.â€
