Argentina coach Luis Testa: This was a match between two teams with almost the same level of play. We made a costly mistake in reception in the final set and that cost us the match.
Argentina player Nicolas Zerba: In the beginning, we couldn’t play as well as we wanted. We tried to adjust and we improved our game. It was a good game, and China played well, but in the important moments, we could not deliver the small details that matter.
