Champions League
Trento one set from the Final Four
The Champions League playoff 6 return legs will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday. The winners will join the host Belchatow in the Final Four, which will take place in Lodz on the 10 and 11 April. The holders are heading to Poland to meet Resovia, beaten in three sets in the first leg. The game is scheduled at 6 tomorrow. Thanks to its perfect victory in the first meeting, Stoytchev’s boys will need only one set to go through to the semi finals.
“Thanks to our 3-0 first leg win, we find ourselves in a very good situation – said coach Stoytchev – But we still have to do the job and play a good game in Poland. That’s why we prepared the game carefully, we studied in detail in order to obtain what we need. It will be important to stay focused throughout even when we’ll be going through tough moments. Resovia is certainly stronger that what we’ve seen in the first leg, they have top-level players and I’m sure they will be very dangerous in front of their fans”.
