Giovanni Guidetti"we are excited to play in the quarter-finals against the best team in Poland. We are preparing the match very carefully because they are having an amazing season both in the League and CEV Champions League. Of course, our team is a bit worried because we will be very close to the border with Ukraine, but we believe that if we will play the match, it means that there will be zero risk for anything.”
Head coach VakifBank ISTANBUL
Gabriela Guimarães“We are very excited to play against a good team like Rzeszow. They are in amazing form in both the league and Champions League. We know that they are very dangerous. We need to study and be ready to face a great team. In the first match, we will travel to Poland and play there. We know that they are playing well in there. We faced Turkish Airlines in the Turkish League and that match was a great test to prepare us for this match. First matches are always important to make the big step"

Developres RZESZÓW upset VakifBank ISTANBUL
The #CLVolleyW quarterfinals kicked off with more than a game to remember between the teams of Developres RZESZÓW upset VakifBank ISTANBUL. The fixture that lasted exactly 127 minutes was full of many emotions and turnarounds, but eventually, the 2021 runners-up and four-times winners of the competition, the Turkish powerhouse of VakifBank Istanbul suffered a 2-3 defeat from the inspired Polish team of Developres RZESZÓW. In their first ever appearance in this phase of the competition, the team around head coach Stéphane Antiga showed great fighting mentality, and despite being called “the underdogs”, claimed the important victory.
Overall, VakifBank outclassed their opponents on all count (76 to 60 winning spikes; 16 to 11 kill blocks; five to three aces), but paid a heavy price for their own mistakes (26 to 17).
As many as 31 points by top scorer Isabelle Haak weren’t enough for the team of Istanbul to secure the win, Gaby added 26. For the winners, Kara Bajema scored 20, but her teammate - Anna Stencel, was named MVP with 17 points and 59% exc.in attack.
The away match between the teams is scheduled for March 16.
Kara Bajema“We knew we were the underdogs, but we didn't want anybody to underestimate us. I am proud of my team, we never gave up. Of course, VakifBank are a great team. Next week, they will play at home, but we have to play our game and execute our plan.”
