The Hague, Netherlands, June 16, 2017 - Netherlands took a comfortable victory over Korea 3-0 (25-21, 25-16, 25-16) playing well in aspetcs of the game in front of their home crowd.
Netherlands coach Gido Vermeulen: We played steady and clean today. It is always difficult against Asian teams, but we did a good job today. Our block was super and our side out clean. We never got into trouble, hopefully we manage to continue that this weekend. Tomorrow awaits another "final" that we have to win. Again we will do everything we can to win in this fantastic hall and for this great audience.
Netherlands captain Jasper Diefenbach: Our start could not have been better. You have to start fierce against Korea and we managed to do so. We showed that we are physically a strong team. Also our float services put a lot of pressure on them.
