After the win over Peru, Santarelli made evaluations on the website of the Turkish Volleyball Federation (TVF).
The Italian coach said, “I cannot say that we played a very good match today. My players felt relieved after the first set. We made a lot of mistakes in the second set. We were quite bad in defense and lost the second set. After the second set, I talked to my players and asked them what was going on. Playing such matches is also “It’s not easy to get motivated either. Maybe we weren’t mentally ready for this match.” He commented:
Stating that they were still happy to win, Santarelli said, “We played the third set normally and won. It is important to win even difficult matches in which you play badly, but we will have to change some things. Because if you want to win the Olympic qualifications, we have to deserve it. We will play a better game against Argentina tomorrow.” I hope.” he said.
