“It was unbelievable match today, we are very happy with the win and I am proud of my teammates, they did an amazing job. It was almost impossible to win like this and to be number 1 in the group. We were in the situation where we could only lose one game. If we had lost 2, then the points would be counted…but we won 3:0 and all matches 3:0, unbelievable! Also big respect for our opponents, even though they maybe feel sad today, they delivered a very good match in France and they all play very good,” said Sofia POLCANOVA.
