Michał WiniarskiI’m really happy we qualified for the Final Four, it was our dream from the beginning. We achieved our goal and now everything’s possible. After winning two sets I believe that we couldn’t find our rhythm in the third set. But in the fourth set we started again to play our volleyball.
Head Coach Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie:
Stefan Huebner,I’m proud of the guys. We played the game on a good level, but it wasn’t enough for a team like Zawiercie. But it is important for us that we left the court with the feeling “okay it was what we could do, it could be a little bit better than our home match”. We are happy for our bench guys, that they can play a bit.
