Joel Banks“If we want to qualify for the next round, we have to win our home games and we’ll have to surprise two teams in away games. That challenge starts immediately here in Ankara. I don’t want to cast any predictions, but we always have a chance. That’s what we experience every year: sometimes we get crushed 0-3, but regularly we cause a big upset. Let’s hope that we can do that in this first leg in Ankara.”
Coach of Greenyard Maaseik

The CEV Volleyball Champions League 2022 will be a special edition for GREENYARD Maaseik: the Belgian vice-champion appears for the 20th time in the group stage of the Champions League in its modern 21st century format.

This is the 8th encounter between Maaseik and a team from Ankara. After 4 defeats against Halkbank Ankara, Maaseik posted two victories against the same team, both in the 2020 edition. And last year, Maaseik beat Turkish Cup Winner Spor Toto 3-0 in the 1/8th final of the CEV-cup.

Maaseik’s last visit to Ankara turned into a thriller. Two years ago coach Joel Banks’ team survived 3 match points to avoid a 3-0 defeat and eventually turned the game around, which resulted in a 2-3 win.

Last Saturday, GREENYARD Maaseik beat eternal rival Knack Roeselare in the Belgian league after a big fight over 5 sets: 3-2. Maaseik presented an extremely young team. In the tiebreak, 9 players forced the victory, of which 4 are still teenagers (3 x 19 and 1 x 18), and 3 more, born in 1998, are only 23. Only 2 players were older, both 29.
Arslan Ekşi"We are going to our first match in the Champions League. It will definitely be a match that we have to win if we want to advance to the next round. Maaseik is a team that is constantly in the Champions League and plays good volleyball. I believe that if we play patiently and show our own strength on the field, we will win the match. We are waiting for both Ziraat Bankkart fans and volleyball lovers living in Ankara to the match."
Captain of Ziraat Bankasi Ankara
Jolan Cox“To be honest, if we wan’t to cause a upset, we have to take our chance here in Ankara, since both the other teams in our pool, Dinamo Moscow and Projekt Warszawa, are extremely strong opponents. Therefore we’d better show our value from the very first game on, here in Ankara.”

Ziraat Bankasi ANKARA v VC Greenyard MAASEIK
Jolan COX"It’s a pity we couldn’t conclude the first set. We were playing really good volleybal, but we didn’t reward ourselves. From the second set on, Ziraatbank raised its level, and hardly committed any errors. We have many youngsters in our team, for whom this is the first experience in Champions League. That may explain why we couldn't keep up with them."

Joel Banks“This was clearly a game, that depended on the first set. We played high level, we created a lot chances in block-defense, and yet, in the end we lose it very closely 26-24. From then on, we saw Ziraat raise their level. They put too much pressure on us, we had difficulties in scoring and got caught by their kill-blocks. From set two on, this was a very good learning experience for my young team.”
