Yunus Ocal stressed that the defeat of the women’s national volleyball team by Germany is not a disaster, since there are still five matches left in the Dusseldorf group and he believes that he expected a better reaction, asking for a better performance next.
Analytically: “I don’t care what others say about our team, but today the truth is that we were very nervous. But, nothing ended today. We still have four matches ahead of us and especially the three that follow, which are very important and which will determine our course.
We made a lot of mistakes, especially in the first and second sets and in this kind of match it’s not easy. In the third set, we were ahead 21-16 and 24-21 and we had to finish it… I expected a better reaction from some gymnasts, but now we see the other matches. We must definitely play better both as a team and individually.”
For his part, Vital Heinen emphasized that: “Today I have the feeling that Greece missed an important opportunity. We were unlucky with Ortman getting injured and we had to essentially build a new team, changing things, but you didn’t take advantage of that, especially in the third set where you don’t know what would happen if you went 2-1 down.
I told you yesterday that you have a good team, but I can’t help but be happy about our victory. In volleyball, a mistake costs dearly and we made sure, from one point on, not to do too much.”
