"The girls showed good results yesterday in the match against Great Britain. And today was a very difficult day, strong opponents (Spaniards). We did everything we could to win. We prepared for every match and knew it wouldn't be easy. We were a little unlucky with the schedule, the girls did not quite have time to recover. Spanish are very difficult and experienced opponents. But we fought and just didn't give up, we tried to hook to the last. On the first match day, we beat the hosts of the tournament - Great Britain. We showed ourselves, looked at others, accepted our mistakes, took into account both shortcomings and strengths. We will work and prepare for the next meetings," captain of the women's team Yaroslava Shvedova said.
