Puerto Rico coach - Carlos Cardona "We played a bad match. Our motivation was low. Our interior defense was not good."
"We must find out why we lost. I will review the match. We didn't have enough attacks."
"We can't win with this kind of form. There were too few blocks."
Venezuela captain - Kervin Pinerua
"I'm happy for the win today. We are gradually increasing our energy and rhythm. We had good concentration."
"It's a new generation of players for Venezuela. We are reaching the level we need to succeed. We want to push forward."
"We kept a good rhythm. We are here to learn and carry on."
Puerto Rico captain - Jose Rivera
"I believe our team is playing below the level needed to compete in a tournament like this."
"Venezuela played marvelous today. They showed more spirit than us. I need to talk to the team after this loss. We need to boost our motivation."
