Andrea Giani, head coach of Germany: "The first two sets haven’t been easy for us. Especially in the second set we had a lot of difficulties to play our game. Fortunately we had an outstanding service performance by Georg Grozer at the end. It was a typical first game at such a tournament. For me and my team it is a pleasure to play at home and the home crowd advantage helped today and will help us during this Olympic qualifiers"
Jakub Janouch, Captain of Czech Republic: "We are sad because we lost 3:0. In some moments I am proud of the guys my teammates but I am angry because of the second set cause we were leading the most of the set and at the end we couldn´t manage it to win. Grozer probably is the best server on this tournament but still we had the chance and we didn´t take it. So this is the one thing what makes me feel angry. But on the other side I am proud of the guys because some of them played their first match in men´s team today. So we just need to work on to keep the level and to solve some situations better in the next match.”
