Post press conference held (CHN-TUR)

Kunshan, China, June 16, 2017 - China delighted the home crowd with a 3-0 (43-41, 26-24, 25-21) victory over Turkey on Friday night.

China captain Weijun Zhong: We are happy to win the game, it was really a tough one. We played under pressure this game, because we didn't played well last week, so we want to play better in our home soil. We played well in the first set, after that it was a little bit easier in the second and third. I am looking forward to the next two games, because they are our main opponents in Asia.



China coach Raul Lozano: This is an important game, and this is the first time that the new Chinese team played in China. In the first set, the players were quite nervous, they made a lot of mistakes but they managed to overcome it. We played like a team in the game, which is a good sign. I am satisfied that the players kept calm during the game when they meet problems and tried to solve them.

Turkey coach Joshko Milenkoski: We lost the game and lost three points. Today China played much better, congratulation to them. We lost our chance in the first set which was a very long one, like two sets. In the second set, we opened well, but still lost it. In the third set, we put young players on court, they made many mistakes. Our captain got injured during the game, which is quit difficult for us, because you know a setter is very important for a team. We have too much injury this year, which is our biggest problems. But the young players get the chance to show themselves on court, which is a good thing, because our goal this year is the European Championships.
