Ningbo, China, June 19, 2019 – Germany defeated a young Serbian team 3-1 (25-14, 25-20, 23-25, 25-17) in the fifth week of the FIVB Women’s Volleyball Nations Leaegue on Wednesday afternoon at Beilun Sports and Arts Center.
Serbia captain Maja Aleksic: “I am very happy that we won the third set though we lost the game. Tomorrow we will play against team China, I am very much looking forward to that.”
Germany captain Denise Hanke: “I think we did pretty well in the first two sets but in the following set we came back very late, so it was almost impossible for us to win the third set. We knew that team Serbia was very strong physically and attacked very strong in serve. We made some substitutions in the third set and we are very happy to win the fourth set.”
Serbia coach Branko Kovacevic: “Congratulations to both teams and especially to team Germany. I think the game after the first set was very interesting because there were many nice long rallies. We could really improve our reception especially the organization in first attack. In the middle of the game we had the chance to come back but team Germany had a very good serve and caused many problems to us. It was very difficult to play against Germany. But tomorrow is a new game. Team China is much stronger than us. Our target is to give these young players more opportunities to play at this level of competition and to enjoy the game.”
Germany head coach Felix Koslowski: “Congratulations to team Serbia since they fought very hard on the court. We did well in serve but it was not easy for us to hold on to the end. Many coaches always say they have a young team on court but I have to say team Serbia is really young and an interesting new generation. Actually it does not matter how mature they are. Even when they lagged five or six points behind, they always fought hard and did an amazing job.”
