Benjamin ToniuttiWe are happy that we won the national league in Poland one week ago, but we didn’t have much time to enjoy as we try to stay focused on the SuperFinals. We are glad to be part of this event - it means a lot for the club, for the staff, for the players, for everyone involved in the process in the past six months - months full of big Volleyball fights. We hope to achieve what we couldn’t last year and to bring the trophy back home in Jastrzebie.

"Last May, we were close to doing it, and we will try to achieve the goal this time around. We know that we are facing a really strong team, but we are preparing the game in the best way possible. We hope for a good game,” Toniutti concluded.
Marko Podrascanin“After facing so many problems in the playoffs, including injuries, we are now back to our complete roster. Congratulations to Jastrzebski for winning the Polish League. We lost important games lately, and tomorrow we have to seize our chances. We want to bring the trophy back to Trento, and we will give our best.”

Marcelo Mendez“I am really happy that we won the PlusLiga - it is a difficult league, where we faced many tough opponents. Now, we are really motivated to play our best game tomorrow. We had a long season, playing matches every three days, but the motivation to win the SuperFinals is bigger than ever!”
Head coach of Jastrzebski Wegiel
Fabio Soli“We had a little bit more time to rest. We had some issues, but finally, we are back together. I think we are in a good position, although we know that the opponents are probably in a better moment. We will push and give everything that we have on the court.”
