Gherson
Ortíz, winger Panamanian National Team:
"The match was a little tough since the rival
has been practicing for months, but we were able
to get the result, which was today and we got
three zero sets and I'm proud of my country".
Kevin
Herrera, winger Honduran National Team:
“I feel that as always we fought, but we lacked
grit, as a team it is something that we have to
reinforce maybe for tomorrow, we will be better
at it, maybe for tomorrow, we are there in the
attack, we are there in defense, trying to
improve the pass a bit, but above all I feel
that the team can still move forward and
continue fighting until the end, we are only in
the second game, we have three left and we have
faith that we can win them”. |
