Interview with Ferre Regers (opposite, Belgium)
Toshiki: Congratulations on your victory. How are you feeling?
Regels: I feel great, but nothing special, just great. After five great games, very competitive games, and today we finished it off with a strong team performance. That's our strength. We've always played as one team.
Toshiki: How do you feel about your play today?
Regels: I felt like I could do anything today. I had a very good feeling. I already had that feeling this morning that today was going to be a good day. But I tried to be humble and not to overestimate myself. Today was a good day for me, but I think it was not just for me, but for the whole team. You can't win a match by yourself.
Toshiki: It felt like the team stepped up a gear from the second set onwards, but did you feel that way yourself?
Regels: I think I have more energy in the more important moments. This helps me jump more, concentrate more and play at a higher level. Yes, of course there are good and bad days, but today everything just clicked and I'm very happy.
Toshiki: We'll be playing against Perugia in the next semi-final.
Regers: It will be tough to play against Perugia. As you know, they are one of the best teams in the world. But we have already beaten them twice, so we can beat them three more times. I, and the whole team, are looking forward to the semifinals. That's what we play volleyball for. We love it.
