Tijuana, Mexico, October 11, 2013 - Turkey will play for the

Yurtdagülen finished with 11. On the German side, Katharida
Schwabe closed with 11 and captain Jennifer Geerties with 5.
Gözde Yilmaz, captain of Turkey: Its not easy to play against
Germany, because they are a very strong team and keep fighting
until the end. We had to serve well and never lose control.
Mehme Bedestenlioglu, coach of Turkey: This second part of the
tournament is very important for us. We played at good and high
level after we lost against a very strong team like Japan. Our
players did it well and had a good performance.
Jennifer Geerties, captain of Germany: They had a lot of
pressure in service and we had many problems in reception. We
could not be able to play well and did so many mistakes.
Jens Tietbohl, coach of Germany: Congratulations to Turkey. We
made too many mistakes on the court today and we could not even
play against them.
There were a lot of mistakes by us. |
