Ankara, Turkey, Jul 7, 2017 - Brazilian captain Natalia was pleased following her team's 3-0 win over Belgium on Friday, but admitted Brazil will need to improve in the following matches.
Brazilian team captain Natalia: First of all, the most important thing was the victory. We got 3 points. But we know we need to play better in the next games. Congratulations to the team on this victory.
Brazil's head coach José Roberto: We were a little bit nervous in the beginning. We made many mistakes in the attack. Our blocks helped us. 3-0 is a very important score to begin.
Belgian head coach Gert Vande Broek: We played against a very strong team. They won their previous matches. It's a difficult start but I'm very satisfied with how we played. We made it difficult for them. If we can play with this spirit all the time... I think the public also saw a very good match.
Belgian team captain Charlotte Leys: I have to congratulate Brazil. They did a very good job. I'm also proud of my team because we're not with a full team here. We didn't have any stress today, we played with our hearts. I think we showed nice volleyball for the supporters.
