Poland defeated Brazil in Katowice 3:2 at the last World League match of group B and strengthened its position as a leader in the ranking. – We expected a difficult match – said the captain of the World Champion, Murilo.
At the press conference:
Murilo (captain of the National Team of Brazil): I congratulate the victory to the Polish National Team. As I have said yesterday, we expected a hard match. We did not manage to preserve stability in the game. Today Poland was better. Our serves were not good, even though we gained some points. Unfortunately, we made a lot of mistakes.
Marcin Możdżonek (captain of the National Team of Poland): It has been another good day for our team. We gained two more points that we needed. The match was a nice one. At the end it was very emotional. However, we made a lot of mistakes. At the second set Brazil became more powerful, but we manager to handle it and somehow we won. Today we proved that every single player brings advantages on court. Today the whole national team cooperated. This match gave us more self-confidence and faith. We know why we do it and what are our goals. As coach Anastasi always repeats, we can get a lot through hard work.
Bernardo Rezende (coach of the National Team of Brazil): I would like to congratulate the Polish National Team and coach Anastasi on their victory. It has been a very hard match, but also a nice one. All the fans loved the performance. The refereeing issues were not important because Poland was better and deserved on victory. I hope we will get a lesson out of these past three days and improve in the future.
Andrea Anastasi (coach of the National Team of Poland): It was a very important match for us. How we won is less important than the victory itself. Thanks to this one match boys gained more self-confidence and this is most important for me. What happened today on tribunes was amazing and the atmosphere was great. I am sure everyone who came to see the match will have unforgetable memories.
