In the press conference coaches and captains of both teams spoke about the party: Manon Flier, German captain: "It is good to finish with a win, it is something positive. I think we can use this experience for the future, to take it with us, learn from it. We have to play more consistent, not too many ups and downs.” We started the tournament at a constant level. We try to balance the team a little more. I wish luck to Cuba for the next season. Thanks for everything.In today's match: We've done a lot of pressure with the service. We had good communication on the network and use our skills. I think we did a great job. "

The Netherlands coach Avital Selinger: "Firstly I think it was a tough match. It was important for us to come back in the first set and get the momentum we had in the second, which was very even and could go either way. Towards the end, I felt the strength of Cuba was lower and we could improve our service and blocking to end the game.

Yusidey Silié, Cuban captain: "I think it was not a very good day for my team. The team fell short. Both teams knew each other very well. I think they did better than us today, and they finally won. "We have many young players that lack competitive experience. We have several goals for the coming year. I think our team can do better ... not showing  many ups and downs."
