Always our goal to fight like a team - Tatyana Kosheleva

Russia got their money's worth from Italy, but managed to secure a straight-set win - their third after four matches at the 2021 FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League.

Here's the reaction after the game, from the virtual Mixed Zone:

Francesca Bosio (Italy): "We started nervously, but during the match we were constantly improving our game. We have to be patient, because we are a young team. We could play better in block and defence, but it was just two or three balls that made a difference, so we have to keep growing and working."

Tatyana Kosheleva (Russia): "First of all we played like a team and it's always our goal to play and fight like a team. I think we did a good job. We are usually very critical about ourselves, therefore I think that ahead of the matches with Brazil and Japan we need to improve all elements - block, attack and everything else. We become stronger and stronger every day and it's our target for this tournament. We also aim to enjoy every game."
