It is a frustrating result, especially for our team which is used to being on decisive games and has already won so many titles such as the World Championship three times. But we go on with our heads up, knowing that we did a good job. We will fight strongly for the third place and take that medal to Brazil. It will not be easy, this is a very tough championship, but we will do our best to win”, said outside hitter Filipe.
