One of the leaders of ŁKS Commercecon Łódź is setter Roberta Ratzke, world and Olympic vice-champion. The Brazilian, who has been living in Łódź since 2021, encourages people to use volleyball as a way to learn about different cultures during CEV Champions League matches. - Let's use what volleyball gives us.

Let's learn new languages, let's get to know the culture of places. For example, Warsaw is close to me because it's a city where you can find a bit of everything. It reminds me of Sao Paulo. In Warsaw I love the Old Town, it is really beautiful, and in Łódź I love Manufaktura. There is no city in Poland where you cannot find great cafes or good restaurants - she praises.

In the table of Group E of the CEV Champions League, SC Prometey Dnipro is in 4th place, while ŁKS Commercecon Łódź is one point higher.

I hope we will win this Tuesday's match against Prometey. Now we play every two days, there is no time to rest, - In the last league match we played well from start to finish and we have to continue that.
