Here's the reaction after the game, from the virtual Mixed Zone:

Tine Urnaut (Slovenia): "First of all, I think we were missing our energy in the last two games. We didn't have such a power like we had during the preliminary round. After that we had a few of problems in sideout and our level went down in all elements. We were still fighting, we wanted to come back in the 3rd set. We played a good third set, but we had problems with scoring in sideout again, and point by point and then three or four points in a row and it was already too much. France played well, they put a lot of pressure with their serve, we struggled in sideout and this gave the result of the match. Before the Final Four we were satisfied with being in the top four. Before the finals we did a great tournament and I'm really happy about this, because it's the first time - not only at the VNL, but also when we had an opportunity to play so many strong matches in a row. This is a big experience for us and I'm happy about it. Regarding the Final Four, we can learn something from this, improve - we could have played a bit different and more aggressive, but I hope it will be an important lesson and experience for us in the future."

Earvin Ngapeth (France): "We are very happy. It's very important to finish as the 3rd team in this competition. It was a very long and hard tournament. With this result we can go and prepare for the Olympics with a smile, because it's always important to go home with a medal. Also when it's hard, like yesterday against Brazil when they played a lot better than us and we couldn't find a solution, but we kept playing with a smile and good energy. We said it would be difficult with Slovenia. We have to enjoy the game like we did, today was very good. The energy that we put on the court made a difference, in addition Jenia [Grebennikov] played very good in defence. We saved a lot of balls, our service was very good today, too and it all made a difference."
