On Saturday, Japan will face Russia at 16.00 local time and Turkey will play against USA at 19.00.
Turkey coach Massimo Barbolini: I am so proud of my team and happy for them. They are working hard for a long time and they deserved this win. We started to the 2014 FIVB World Grand Prix with the right step. It is always hard to play against Japan. So we must be happy. We played better in the game little by little. I am satisfied with the overall performance of my team. This is an unbelievable round but every round is very hard in Grand Prix. Our opponents are three of the best teams in the world. USA plays very fast as Japan did but their block is better than Japan. Tomorrow will be another fight. We have to be ready lik today.
