- The Tours VB, led by its Brazilian coach, Marcelo FRONCKOWIAK, knows that this Wednesday will be their last chance to survive in the 2023 CEV Champions League Play-offs.
- The middle-blocker Thiébault BRUCKERT will be on the trip to Germany and will finally meet again his partners, who have been absent from the field since mid-November.
- Leandro NASCIMENTO DOS SANTOS, another middle blocker, is still injured and will miss his third Champions League match this season.
- On the other hand, Zeljko CORIC, setter and captain, also injured in the first game in Tours, will be on the trip against Vfb FRIEDRICHSHAFEN to support his teammates and hope to push them to take the 3 points necessary to play a golden set.
Dejan VINCIC“We have to play this game as it was a final. We did very well in TOURS, but this doesn’t mean anything if we don’t finish the job at home. We have the chance to write history for the club and even for the players. We have to seize this opportunity on Wednesday.”
Captain VfB FRIEDRICHSHAFEN
Thilo SPÄTH-WESTERHOLT"Even if we won the first match we have to start from scratch on Wednesday. We need our best game to win against TOURS again. It’s an outstanding chance to be one of the best eight teams in Europe and we need support from the stands to prevail.”
CEO and former libero VfB FRIEDRICHSHAFEN

VfB FRIEDRICHSHAFEN outperform TOURS VB
After winning the game in TOURS 3:0, two sets were enough for VfB Friedrichshafen to make it to the quarterfinals. It’s the first time for FRIEDRICHSHAFEN since 2018 to be one of the best eight teams in Europe. The first set was Aboubacar DRAME NETO against the rest of the world. The French opposite overpowered VfB FRIEDRICHSHAFEN with eight spikes, one kill block and one ace to secure the first set for his team (25-21).
Zeljko Coric celebrated his comeback after his injury before the first clash of both teams one week ago, while VfB FRIEDRICHSHAFEN’s 2.12 giant Marcus BÖHME had to stay at home due to sickness.
The “HÄFLER” scored only 15 points in the second set, but starting with an ace from Michal Superlak, the home team gained more and more confidence. With some spectacular safes from libero Blair Bann, FRIEDRICHSHAFEN took set three and for four.
MVP Michal Superlak will be back in his home country Poland when VfB FRIEDRICHSHAFEN meets Polish powerhouse Jastrzebski Wegiel for the semifinals.
Mark LEBEDEW“We had a difficult start into the game and we allowed TOURS to control the game. After the second set we were faster and better. This was the second time in Champions League that we won a game after being two sets down and we never lost a five setter in this season. I’m very proud of my team.”
Head coach VfB FRIEDRICHSHAFEN
Michal SUPERLAK“We believed in ourselves, even after losing two sets. We did an amazing job and I’m very happy to meet Jastrzebski Wegiel in the quarterfinals now and I really believe that we have a chance against them.”
