Russia defeated Serbia 3-1 (25-23, 25-22, 22-25, 25-21) in the first match in the men's fourth round of Preliminary Round matches at the 2021 FIVB Volleyball Nations League on Tuesday.
This is what the players said:
Marko Podrascanin (SRB): Before this match we knew that it would be an important match, especially for them. We started very well. In the first set we were 7-8 points ahead, but they showed again that they are a very good serving and blocking team. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to win the opening set, and in the next set it was also one or two balls that made the difference. In the end we remain without anything - no point from this match. I think that their comeback made a big difference. We now have 7 wins and 3 losses and ahead of us games against five teams with lower ranking in the standings. So I think that everything depends on us and we have everything in our hands. If we win these five games we will be for sure in the Final Four.
Maxim Mikhaylov (RUS): We are still looking for our game and our best shape, so it was important to win this game, because it gives us confidence and positive energy. In my opinion the most important thing in this game was that we won the first set. We were many points behind Serbia, but we managed to turn the score around and win it. It's good, because we didn't miss our chance also in the second set and eventually won the game. We gave our maximum, because this victory was very important for us.
