The CEV Champions League is returning to Ankara with Halkbank playing host to the BERLIN Recycling Volleys from Germany in their second match in Pool B. After losing their season opener to Aluron CMC Warta ZAWIERCIE of Poland, Halkbank travelled directly to Antakya to contest a match scheduled for the Turkish national league before returning to Ankara.
After joining the team ahead of this season, Nimir has taken the 'driver's seat' at Halkbank
The Dutch opposite hitter of Halkbank, Nimir Abdel-Aziz, is very much determined to make amends for last week’s loss to the Polish Champions League rookies.
“This is going to be another strong game! The BERLIN Recycling Volleys take part in the Champions League every year and they always achieve good results! Therefore, it is going to be a big battle again. We need to fight, and we want to show our improvement after the game that we lost in Poland.”
Nimir scored 15 points last week in Poland – but could not prevent a 1-3 loss to the side anchored by Serbian star Uros Kovacevic, who finished the match on a personal tally of 26 points.
