Bari, Italy, August 10, 2019 – Serbia win their second
game, Cameroon suffers another 3-0 (25-22, 25-19, 25-13) in the Olympic qualifiers.
Nmanja Petric (Serbia captain): Even if the prediction
was on our side it is not easy to play these games. They must be played
carefully, particularly when the opposite team has nothing to lose and even
with players we did not know well, but the result was positive and this is the
important thing. The challenge with Italy tomorrow will be a
battle, both teams want to go to Tokyo, both can count on players able to
change the course of the race within a few points. The Italian fans will demonstrate their
support for Italy rightly, but we like to play in these warm atmospheres, it
will be a good show for the public as well.
Mayam Reniof (Cameroon head coach): We knew the value of
Serbia, but this is also a test for us to evaluate our level of preparation to
face certain events, and these games will serve to improve our level. Unfortunately, Wounembaina go injured that
has not yet been solved. I wanted so
much to have him play but I couldn't, so I asked the team to be even more
united.
