The squad will head to Vasto tomorrow where they will play in a tournament with Perugia, the Champions League finalist of Ankara and another top quality Turkish side in Galatasaray. The latter will be the semi-final opponent of the Italian champions tomorrow.

“The most important aspect in these pre-season games is to get better every time – said spiker Jiri Kovar – This weekend in Vasto, we’ll have the opportunity to play against top quality teams on the international scene and we will make the most of it. This year again, our team was put together aiming to try to go all the way in every competition we will take part in”.
