World League Pool A: FRA vs. ESP
From FIVB online.

Last saturday evening in Rennes, in front of 4500 fans, the french national team signed its seventh victory in World League, defeating Spain (3-1: 25-20, 23-25, 25-17,25-17). The only comparison of direct faults explains the french victory. Amounting 35 direct faults (18 on serve), compared to a more efficient French team (15 direct faults, 13 on serve), Spanish limited their possibilities.

"We did too many faults" said Francisco Hervas, the Spanish coach. "France, step by step, improved its efficiency during the game, as our team had physical difficulties to compeat their rythm."

Even with a favorable number of faults, the French team lead the net and the serve-reception area. "We have been efficient on net with Laurent Capet" explained Philippe Blain, the french coach. Philippe Barca-Cysique coming has also been positive. Moreover we were correct with our block.
