Jineiry Martinez, Dominican Republic player: “I feel very happy because we played well as a team. I feel the enthusiasm on us and I really like that. We have to keep on going like this.”
Ivan Petkov, Bulgaria coach: ”There is no coach in this world that would feel happy after losing two games.

We’re going to keep on fighting in the next phase and hope we will win both games.”
