Lukas Kampa, Germany's Captain: “We are very satisfied because we are almost in the semis. The challenge against Slovenia tomorrow will be the toughest one so far. We want to reward all fans who come tomorrow to see us on a Tuesday evening but of course to win the group has to be our goal here.”
Dominique Baeyens, Head Coach of Belgium: “I feel frustration. It´s almost the same story like yesterday. We lost 3:0 but we were really close to win one or two sets. Again we didn’t do it which is quite hard. I cannot blame any of my players because we have a lot of injuries. We still expected more to reach here and had the dream to go to Tokyo. I feel frustration that it is already over.”
