Felix Koslowski"First of all, I want to congratulate my team, after a really short time to prepare for this tournament, espeically in this kind of match against Turkey, a team with many elite players. I think they did a very good job at coming back in the second se being down 8 or 10 points."
Coach of Germanz
Jennifer Geerties"I thin kwe were a little surprised today. We prepared really well but we did not have much time. To find the perfect condition in the first game is touh, and we made a lot of unforced errors, but we received well so we could use our good spikers like Lippman and Orthmann."
