Ales Holubec, captain of Czech Republic: "We knew the Netherlands are a very strong team. They were better in everything. I don’t think we played a bad match. If we had played this game yesterday against Egypt, it would have been a 3-point win, but, you know, against the Netherlands we should have shown something super special to beat them."
Michal Nekola, assistant coach of Czech Republic: "Today the Netherlands served greatly, so we had many problems in reception and then they blocked us very often. They outplayed us completely and it was a well-deserved win for them."
