Lang Ping, the Chinese team coach, said in the press conference after the match that her team had tried their best. "Before the match we had prepared a lot. But till now, players’ endured great physical exertion. (…) The Japanese team presented a different combination today, which we’ve never seen before. Although the Japanese players are not very tall, they moved very fast and created difficulties for our blocking techniques. Despite the fact that our squad did not win in this match, our team members tried their best,” she said. She noted that her team has many tall players: "Therefore during daily training and competitions, we required them to improve in the first pass and defense. The match allowed us the chance to learn and helps us to realize our strengths and disadvantages. I hope we can make progress in the next match". Manabe Masayoshi, the Japanese coach, commented that the Chinese team did well in spiking and blocking for high positions. As for the Japanese squad, many players who are not often seen in the matches performed well. Japan and China now head off to Tokyo for the Finals starting on 20 August.
