    2017 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships presented by A1 - August 6 QUOTES Men's Semi-finals: Evandro Goncalves / Andre Loyola Brazil (4) def. Maarten Van Garderen / Christiaan Varenhorst Netherlands (45) 21-15, 21-13 (0:42) Christiaan Varenhorst, The Netherlands – “Our sideout was a problem and we didn’t play with the guts we did yesterday. Our passing was more from the back side of the court so the attacking was not full power, the setting was sometimes hand, sometimes bump, it should be all hands or all arms. They played a nice sideout. In the first set, I think (Evandro’s serving) gave them the edge. Her served two perfect serves on the line, one was a direct ace. That was the first gap in the first set. The second set right from the beginning we didn’t play our sideout. We made some rally points and got back to 9-9 but we kept on having troubles with our sideout. That was a major issue out there. (playing for a medal) It’s everything. Obviously we wanted to win this one but we still have a chance to win a medal and that would make our tournament almost perfect.” Maarten Van Garderen, Netherlands – “I’m just sad that we didn’t show our game and we didn’t cope well with the situation. Evandro is a great server but we were passing and setting really bad. And Andre was hitting everything off the block of my partner. They had a good solution on everything and we didn’t.
