Russia coach Vladimir Alekno said: “I would like to stress that this tournament was a lot more difficult and competitive than the European Championship three months ago. Of course I am very happy with the result and also for all players on the team who have worked hard towards this achievement.”
France libero Jénia Grebennikov: “We won 25-14 in the first set and afterwards Russia played very well, so it was hard for us. They served very well and were also physical. I think they played very good volleyball and they blocked us every time. They also defend a lot and they played a perfect game. We have a ticket for Japan and I hope everything will be OK to qualify for Rio.”
France’s outside spiker Kévin Tillie: “We were a little bit surprised how it went (after a dominant first set). We struggled to keep the intensity and we crashed a little bit. We’re confident but we’re going to have to take match after match like this tournament. It will be tough in Japan.”
