“Playing with this team makes you want to play together,” Maar told Volleyball World after the game. “For us, it’s about winning, but it’s also about extending the time that we have to play together. Obviously, this team is coming apart after the season, and I’m just so excited to continue playing high-level volleyball with these guys. And you can see it on the court. We’re so excited to play together and that’s our best aspect.”
“It was a very tough match. I felt that we improved a lot from match one by working on some areas where we didn’t do well, such as covering our hitters, blocking and defence,” Vero Volley’s Brazilian setter Fernando Kreling added. “Our energy was different today too. We wanted very much to win in front of our fans and I feel that our team deserved it after a great season.”
