    Match Report

    JASTRZEBSKI Wegiel v VfB FRIEDRICHSHAFEN

    Article

    On Wednesday night all Volleyball fans follow attentively the CEV Champions League Volley 2023 - Men, as it's the final day of the pool stage. Four teams - Jastrzębski Węgiel (Pool A) along with Cucine Lube Civitanova (Pool C), Trentino Itas (Pool D) and Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia (Pool E) - secured the first places in their respective pools and direct tickets to quarterfinal, but behind their back we could observe some do-or-die bouts. Super Match of the Week between Jastrzębski Węgiel and VfB Friedrichshafen highlighted the night.

    Although the fate of both Jastrzębski Węgiel and VfB Friedrichshafen was decided already after Leg 5, Jastrzębski was determined to confirm their supremacy. Friedrichshafen's head coach Mark Lebedew in the past was at the helm of Jastrzębski Węgiel, so he knows well many of the players. The game itself started as a fierce point-by-point race. Neither team was able to gain a bigger advantage, as both were extremely focused, showing volleyball of the finest level. The visiting side was visibly better in receptions (71% to 11%!), but Jastrzębski powered by their leaders Trevor Clevenot (6 points in the opener) and Tomasz Fornal (5 points) prevailed in the decisive part of the set.

    Friedrichshafen managed to build a five-point advantage at 14-9, but with great team efforts Jastrzębski quickly made it up and the game became even tougher. Tomasz Fornal was on fire, scoring 7 points, but it was Clevenot who sealed the deal in extra time, giving the hosts 2-0 lead.

    The third part started with the dominance of Jastrzębski, who jumped to 6-2, but also this was not a safe distance as Friedrichshafen didn't even think about giving up. With solid performance from Luciano Vicentin and Andre Brown, they not only erased the gap, but also took a 20-19 lead. The thrilling conclusion of the set went into extra time, but the hosts again withstand the pressure. Moustapha Mbaye was one of Jastrzębski's heroes in the decisive part, but it was Jakub Macyra who scored the match ball after a powerful spike.

    Luciano Vicentin topped the scorers' chart with 16 points. Two less tallied Tomasz Fornal, who was awarded with well-deserved MVP awards. The Polish outside hitter recorded 44% of positive receptions, killed 12 of 28 attacks, served one ace and had one winning block. Another brilliant performance was delivered also by Trevor Clevenot, who completed the game with 13 points. 

    - Due to back injuries, two players from Jastrzębski Węgiel could not play in Wednesday's match: quarterback Eemi Tervaportti and center Yurii Gladyr. In place of the Finnish player, 19-year-old Kamil Strzymszok, an adept of the Talent Academy of Jastrzębski Węgiel, was added to the squad.
    - Wednesday's CEV Champions League match was watched from the stands of the hall in Jastrzębie-Zdrój by the coach of the Polish national team, Nikola Grbić.
    - The match in the Jastrzębie Sports and Entertainment Hall was also attended by the relatives of Michał Superlak, the Polish attacker of VfB Friedrichshafen, including Michał's father Edward, who is the supervisor of the Polish Volleyball League on a daily basis.
    - Moustapha M'Baye, the center of Jastrzębski Węgiel, had the opportunity to present himself to the local audience for the first time in the Champions League.
    - As in the last year's edition of the CEV Champions League, Jastrzębski Węgiel finished the group stage with a set of six victories and a set of 18 points.

    „It was good quality match, both teams played well, but Jastrzębski played better, specially at the end of the sets. We had our chances, but it is not enough to play well for part of the sets against such a quality team like Jastrzębski Węgiel”

    Mark Lebedew
    head coach of VfB Friedrichshafen

    „It was close and even match and it’s a pity for us that we lost those ends of the sets two and three, in spite of earlier leading. In some momments we did easy mistakes and another thing is that we are missing regural clashes against such strong team like Jastrzębski Węgiel every week. The team from Jastrzębski is used to often play such a stron rivarly in PlusLiga”

    „It is important how we reacted today in difficult moments. It will be liked this a lot of times during the season and we have to stay in the game and this is really good point of today. They played good game, it’s physical team, putting a lot of pressure, not doing a lot of mistakes. So today it was not the best Jastrzębski, but Jastrzębski focused and being together untill the end”

    Benjamin Toniutti
