“The second set was decisive. At this level, these mistakes are unforgivable.”

In the second group, Al-Ittihad coach Dante Bonifandi and the national team’s passer Marcus Galiotos, who had Greece defeated him, things might have been different against Turkey. However, both ensured that the national team played its best volleyball here in Israel and set the tone for the decisive match against Romania.

“The second set was decisive. We were in the lead for a long time in the set, but then we made some mistakes and Turkey took advantage of them. At this level, these mistakes are unforgivable. Then Turkey took the lead, pressing from serve.” They are her strong point.

I think we played our best game so far against a strong team and lost. We have to play the same way tomorrow against Romania.”Dante Bonifandi said, while Marcus Galiotus said:

“I think we should have won the second set. We made three mistakes due to a misunderstanding of the pass in that set. If we had not made those mistakes we would have won the set. We played a lot and gave 100%. We fought in every game.” “The match is against a strong team.” It put a lot of pressure on us with the serve. We have to play the same way tomorrow against Romania to win.”
