As the World Champion, Brazil soon regained their form and caught up with China and took a 3-point lead in the second technical timeout (13:16). China once shortened the distance to just 1 point, but several unprompted mistakes gave a chance to Brazil to gain points in a row and got the first set. (21:25).

China Head Coach Cai Bin: As we know that the Brazil team is very strong, we have already made fullest preparation and try to play as good as we can.  
In the first 2 sets, our tactics did not act effectively.  In the 3rd and 4th set, our serves become better.  Although we have fought for 5 sets, it is a regret that we cannot win in the end.  To conclude, I am satisfied with our performance, and hope that we can play better in the future matches.

China Head Coach Cai Bin: Both teams performed well, especially the Poland team. The serves and attacks of the Poland team gave us great pressure.  Indeed, the first three sets were not satisfactory.  Although we win, but it also shows that we have some problems, and we still need to be improved in the future. I am satisfied with the overall performance for my team. In addition, I am glad to see that the team of China is not giving up, and win the game at the final.
