Slovenia scored an epic victory against title-holders Russia at the 2021 FIVB Volleyball Nations League on Friday. The match went to five sets with Klemen Cebulj leading Slovenia with 32 points in the 3-2 (19-25, 25-23, 22-25, 25-20, 15-8) win.
This is what the players said:
Igor Kobzar (RUS): Like I said yesterday, we started to play better, even today. We had more confidence during this match, but we lost even if we played a good game. Slovenia were better. Their leader Cebulj was playing very well and he made a difference today.
Jan Kozamernik (SLO): It was an amazing match. We had a lot of fun, especially after the first set when we were really in trouble. I think we brought in energy and we showed our character, the same way we did playing against Poland. And we really proved that it's not easy to play against us. We are a tough opponent and I hope that we will keep this concentration and game for the next matches. Our team was a key to this victory. We were there all together, we never backed down, we were in the centre of the court all together for every point. After every mistake and after every big point. I think this is what keeps us going and I'm really proud - I think we are doing great.
