Turkey's captain Arslan Ekşi admits that the victory over China was precious for Turkey, considering difficult situation with injured teammates. He said: “In my opinion, we played good volleyball in the first two sets. After the second set, we became really tired. In the past couple of weeks we have played World Championship qualifier, having five matches in a row, which resulted in number of injured players among our squad. It is precious to win in these conditions. Tomorrow, we’ll play with Egypt and it will be a tough game. But we got enough power to win that match.”
