The Italian and Russian champions meet again on Thursday night after the clash that occurred in 2014. This time it will be in the playoffs 6, last hurdle before the final four to take place in Krakow on April 16-17.

“It’s always difficult to prepare a game against an opponent like Belgorod because they have so many alternatives with their roster – said coach Radostin Stoytchev – Besides, we’ve been facing many problems which prevented us from training as we would have liked of late. In order to overcome this challenge we’ll need something that goes beyond normal volleyball, but I can guarantee we will try our very best like always. If we give 120% we can do it, we have to look for a breakthrough by using our will to win”.
