Manila, Philippines, October 23, 2016 – Rexona-Sesc Rio defeated a defence-oriented Hisamitsu Springs in four sets; Gabriela Braga Guimaraes pointed out that Rexona need to be always tough when they play in the FIVB Volleyball Women’s Club World Championship, as the other squads have the best players in the world.

Gabi Guimaraes, Rexona-Sesc player: “The Japanese team was incredible. They defended all the time. They did a good job. It’s so hard to win this match today in the tie-break. So I’m so happy to finish the tournament in fifth place. They are very technical in defence and attack. We did little mistakes; we didn’t give a lot power. They won the first and fourth sets and gave us difficulty. We need to be strong all the time because this tournament has the best teams in the world, we can’t make mistakes, we can’t play bad so I learned too much playing against the best players in the world here. I’m so happy to play in this tournament and I hope we can play in Japan next year.”
