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

Bartosz Kurek (Poland): "I was very surprised, but I think that the Most Valuable Player should be only a player of the winning team, so I really don't consider myself that way. Congrats to Brazil and Wallace - amazing player, amazing team. I hope that we are going to meet in the final this season again in another competition and hopefully then we will be a little bit better opponent and hopefully we can get a win then. I think they played amazing in passing, they kept all our hard serves up, they finished every ball after. In the third and fourth set our efficiency in spike dropped and we couldn't find our game. It's a lesson, painful lesson, but hopefully we can get something good out of it."

Bruno Rezende (Brazil): "It's amazing. This month was so tough for us to be focused and to be in the bubble - it was something new for everybody. It was a really high-level tournament, but our team deserved it. We have 18 players and staff who every day give 100% of their dedication and that's the main thing of this team. We hope that we make people in Brazil proud of us. Now we have three days of rest and we start to think about Tokyo."

Wallace De Souza (Brazil): "I'm very happy, but I'm a part of the team and I am just happy to contribute and do my job for the team. It's the first time for us to win the VNL, so it makes me even happier. We served very well and our pass worked very well, even if Poland served strong - it was a key to success. But also, we didn't make too many own mistakes and it was also very important."
