Nikolay Chigarev (selector of Russia):

This was an important match for us. We wanted to win badly and we realized that, even easier than we expected.

Zoran Živković (selector of Tunisia):

I congratulate to Russia on the victory. I expected the fall in our game after first two matches that were very difficult. Tomorrow we'll take a rest and the next two matches to try to play with quality as in the first and the second round.
