Quotes

Christina Souska (Greece - Player)

"We could have finished much higher, the fatigue after so many games affected us and of course the fact that we were not properly prepared.

We did what we could, we hold our heads high and we are looking forward to the next competitions."

Pornpailin Brendan (Thailand - Player)

“We managed to win the game and had fun".
