She also thanked the Chinese fans, who came to the stadium or watched online, for giving her endless power.

Vakifbank head coach Giovanni Guidetti spoke highly of Zhu's contribution to the team.

"We thank Chinese fans for their amazing support. I received many messages and gifts from Chinese fans. They are not only fans, but also people with good heart. Thank you china." The Italian ended his interview with a Chinese word "Cheer up".

Mehmet Akif Ustundag, president of Turkish Volleyball Federation, also sang highly of the Chinese fans' participation in Turkish volleyball.
