Pereyra: We had a good game

Argentina defeated the Netherlands 3-0 (25-19, 25-20, 25-23) in the 2021 FIVB Volleyball Nations League on Saturday.

This is what the players said:

Federico Pereyra (ARG): We had a good game and we played as a team. In difficult moments we stayed together and that's the most important, because we all supported each other. This was a key to victory. We were in good shape today and showed good volleyball. Our goal is to be better day by day. Now we have three days of rest and it's important for us, because this tournament is long and it's hard to play three days in a row high-level games.

Maikel van Zeist (NED): When you play three games in a row it has to impact you physically. I think yesterday the energy level was a bit higher, but still we had a lot of changes today, we just didn't use that. What was missing? Just a little edge on the final actions. I can speak for myself, there were some moments when I could score. Maybe sometimes a bit of cooperation between players. It is what it is at this moment, but those balls should be finished. I'm always eager, so I get back to the hotel and I will think about the match, what went well and what went wrong. We will see how the schedule for these three days will look, but in my opinion we will take a little bit of rest to clear our minds and we will go back to training to work ahead of the next games.
