Riffa, Bahrain, August 19, 2017 – After suffering a 3-1 loss to hosts Bahrain on the first day, Egypt’s game is back to normal according to coach Nehad Shehata after they posted a 3-1 win over Puerto Rico in the 2017 FIVB Volleyball Boys’ U19 World Championship at the Isa City Sports Hall on Saturday.

Puerto Rico have a lot of good potential players, but my players played well to beat them today.
Egypt captain George Bakhit: We had fan support today and we played very well. We still have a better level than this. We hope to play better against Tunisia tomorrow. We must win this next match in order to advance in this tournament.

We have to make some little adjustments. We must focus on tomorrow’s game and see what we can do against USA. We also have to improve on our hitting.
Puerto Rico captain Gabriel Garcia: I didn’t have a good game. We didn’t have a good level of concentration. I think we can focus some more on what the tasks are. We know we have to be positive despite this loss.
