    - Even if Ziraat Bankasi Ankara has won its home game against Greenyard Maaseik in straight sets, the Turkish champion will have to face a challenging tradition in Belgium. At home Maaseik is used to play very close games against Turkish teams. 3 of the last 5 encounters went to a tiebreak, the other two ended in a close 3-1 victory for the hosts. 

    - VC Greenyard Maaseik will host Ziraat Bankasi Ankara with a new headcoach. Maaseik parted ways with Joel Banks, who led the reds in more than 5 years to two Belgian League titles, a semi-final in the CEV-cup and impressive wins against top teams like Zenit Kazan, Zaksa Kedzierzyn-Kozle, SKRA Belchatow, Jastrzebski Wegiel and Lokomotiv Novosibirsk.

    - With last Saturday’s 1-3 away victory against Volley Haasrode LEUVEN, new head coach Fulvio Bertini made a succesful debut at the helm of Greenyard Maaseik. The 42-year old Italian will make his Champions League debut wih Maaseik with a lot of experience in international competitions: he has been headcoach in Bratislava (Svk), Beauvais (Fra), Nantes Rezé (Fra) and Foinikos Syros (Gre), and at the same time he’s T2 of the Czech national team.

    - Greenyard Maaseik is not only looking for its first victory and first points, it still hasn’t won a single set yet in pool B. That’s no shame, since the schedule offered them extremely tough opposition: first an away game in Ankara, followed by two clashes with the mighty side of Dinamo Moscow.

    - Recently -and luckily- the COVID-restrictions have been changed in Belgium, so that Greenyard Maaseik can again welcome spectators for a Champions League game. The previous European game in front of its enthusiastic crowd dates back from Feb 19th, 2020, so nearly two years ago. On that day Maaseik beat Jastrzebski Wegiel 3-2.

    "It is a new Maaseik. We are really happy. Finally, victories are coming - not only in the national league, but also in the Champions League. I am very proud of our team. Ankara is a great team and it was hard to win with them, but we totally enjoyed it. It was very special to score last point, even if it was not important who - we had to score this point and win the game."

    Jan Martinez Franchi
    player of VC Greenyard Maaseik

    "It was a nice game for Volleyball fans. We knew that Maaseik plays good at home, we were expecting it. They served much bettter today and we had problems with reception. Anyway, we played tie-break, but some decisions I made maybe were not the best choice, but it's Volleyball. We lost and we will try to win against Dinamo Moscow to qualify. It will be difficult for us, but we will try our best."
