Novi Sad, Serbia, June 12, 2015 - After the first match of the weekend between Serbia and Brazil, the teams’ head coaches presented themselves in very different moods. While Nikola Grbić was almost ecstatic with his side's first victory over Brazil since 2008 in the very same ambiance, here in Novi Sad, Roberley Leonaldo of Brazil was far from happy.
Nikola Grbic, coach of Serbia - "To win against Brazil is a true miracle. The way they play, their team roster, everything is perfectly set for this competition, which is their primary goal this year. The first two sets they had almost 90% efficiency in attack, they were impeccable. But, we remained in the game and that is our true virtue. We waited for our moment, and we seized it. This shows that we can compete with the best in the world"
Roberley Leonaldo, coach of Brazil - "We are disappointed, we stopped serving, we stopped defending well, and overall we have lost our focus after the first two sets. Congratulations to Serbia."
