“It was a difficult game. Two strong teams against each other at the very start of the championship. Today, we won thanks to our spirit. We lost the first set, but it happens. We did not even think we could lose. We wanted to win and we did! Surely, we are far from perfect, but we managed to turn the tide,” – volley.ru quotes Startseva’s words.
Anya Spasoevich, Dinamo-Krasnodar hitter, said: “First, I would like to congratulate Dinamo-Kazan. Unlike us, they were good at blocking. We will work on that component. We showed how we can play in the first set. Then, our opponents did not make the same silly mistakes we made. We really wanted to win, and we fought, but it just was not our day”.
