Faig Garayev: "We will try our best to play good volleyball"

"They played some good volleyball and we prepared very well in order to face them.

"We always respect our opponents and I wish Mexico the best in the future.

"The matches in Osaka will be difficult and we will try our best to play good volleyball."

Orlando Samuels, Mexico head coach

"We knew Azerbaijan would be a strong team before we played them and that was confirmed today.

"They were very good on offence and all other aspects of their game. I hope they go on to do well in this tournament.

"Mexico only had 10 weeks to prepare for this tournament and that's why we were not able to perform to our best. I hope we can progress from here."

Bibiana Candelas, Mexico captain

"I think today we improved a lot but we were not very strong in service.

"We learned that to do well in these kinds of tournaments, we need more than two months to prepare. The team should be together always."
