Grupa Azoty KĘDZIERZYN-KOŹLE

- This is the 15th season of ZAKSA and earlier Mostostal-Azoty in the CEV Champions League.

- So far, the club from Kędzierzyn in the Champions League (both as Mostostal and ZAKSA) played 125 matches, of which 79 were won and 46 lost.

- We are waiting for the jubilee 80th win in CL - because we are fighting for every point, I believe that the team will again show its best side in front of its own fans - comments the president of ZAKSA, Piotr Szpaczek.

- On Sunday, in the prestigious match of the participants of the current edition of the Champions League, ZAKSA defeated Jastrzębski Węgiel in the clash of the Champion and Vice-Champion of Poland 3:2, and the second striker of ZAKSA, Bartłomiej Kluth, who became the MVP of the match, played an excellent match.

- In the next match in CEV Champions League against Belgia Decospan VT Menen, attackers Łukasz Kaczmarek and setter Przemysław Stępień, who had a cold in the last two weeks, should return to the line-up.

 

Decospan VT MENEN

- Decospan Menen will start its fourth Champions League game with the same mindset as all previous Champions League game: nothing to lose, but a lot to learn.

- Especially after the 3-0 defeat against Karlovarsko, qualifying for the CEV Cup has become an even bigger challenge.

- Both favourites – Kedzierzyn and Trentino – will normally qualify for the next round, but Decospan hopes to win their first set against one of both top teams.

- Decospan’s level of play continues to improve compared to the start of the season. Of the last four league games, three were won. Greenyard Maaseik was the only team that managed to win in Menen, but actually it should have been at least a tiebreak. After this weekend’s 2-3 win against Haasrode Leven, Decospan is in sixth place of the national league.

- This weekend, Decospan plays a super-important cup game. After winning the first leg against Waremme, Menen only needs two sets in the return at home to advance to the cup final. The previous and only time Menen was able to play the cup final dates from 2006.

"I do not know if Łukasz and Przemek will enter the field, but they certainly want to play, but the most important thing is health and if it is not necessary, they will only be on the bench in this match to be able to calmly prepare for the next matches".

Tuomas Sammelvuo
Head Coach Grupa Azoty KĘDZIERZYN-KOŹLE

“Our ambition is to take our first Champions League set against Kedzierzyn. In the home game, we delivered a good performance. Especially in the second set, both teams were at the same level. Everyone is fit in our team and we hope we can return to Belgium without injuries. On Sunday we can qualify for the Belgian Cup final. That is our biggest goal this season. Nevertheless, we can further improve our level by playing these top European matches.”
