Alexander Karikov, Russia coach: “We were better and stronger today. It was a derby between the European champion and the Asian champion, and our block and attack were stronger than their defense.”
Daichi Saegusa, Japan coach: “First of all, congratulations to Russia. They are a really good team and it was a tough match for us. We started well but they blocked us a lot and our attacks were stopped. In the third set, we served better but we had a high error rate and that’s how the game ended.”
