    “It is the umpteenth challenge of these last few seasons with Kedzierzyn-Kozle, but compared to the past this takes place in an even different way, over the distance of two games. We face the first just over forty-eight hours from the championship match with Padova, a situation that makes a task that would have been difficult in any case even more convincing. They have perfectly integrated spiker Bednorz into their schemes. For our part, we will try to obtain the best possible result.”.

    Angelo Lorenzetti
    Head Coach TRENTINO Itas

    "We are glad that everyone is back to full health and maybe thanks to this the fight in this match will be even. I estimate that both teams have equal chances and we do not hide that this time we do not want to repeat mistakes from the group match and allow Trento to develop its game on the wings and additionally we eagerly want to win in front of our fans, who so faithfully cheer us on throughout the season "

    Match Report

    Grupa Azoty KĘDZIERZYN-KOŹLE v TRENTINO Itas

    Article

    The long-awaited match for all CEV Champions League Volley fans has arrived! On one side is the winner of the last two editions, Grupa Azoty KĘDZIERZYN-KOŹLE, and on the other side is the team that is used to making it to the semifinals, TRENTINO Itas. And the winner is – KOZLE, with spectacular 3-2 on the board (25-22, 22-25, 22-25, 25-21, 15-10).

    The first started off as a point-by-point type of play but KOZLE managed to separate (8-5) and they’ve held this advantage and even increased it to +5 points (12-7). They had six points of advantage at one point (21-15) but up until the very end of the match it decreased and the set finished by 25-22.

    Since they’ve won the first set, KOZLE walked into the second set full of motive. And of course, because there is a lot at stake. They transferred their flightiness and already had a 9-4 lead in the beginning. But this is volleyball and it wouldn’t be interesting without a twist. TRENTINO was slowly building their way up and they managed to equalize the set (16-16) and get in the lead (18-21) and then win the whole set by 22-25.

    The third set was even better. The score was 4-4 and the initiative was taken by KOZLE. However, TRENTINO is a great team and it led to a 10:10 draw. And the "volleyball battle" began. KOZLE was leading to 18-17. Kaziyski's great serve gave TRENTINO the lead of 19-18. The key to winning the set by the Italians was Sbertoli's service ace at 23-21. The Set was finished with an ace from Czech receiver of Itas Donovan Dzavoronok. And again on the scoreboard 25-22.

    In the fourth set, both teams risked serving. TRENTINO started better, leading 6-2 after Micheletto's ace. This time KOZLE led to a 9-9 draw. The action of the set took place at 12-11 for the Italians. First, KOZLE counterattacked three times, then the Italian team, and finally the action was completed by the captain of KOZLE Aleksander Śliwka. For a long time, the hosts maintained a three-point advantage (17-14, 20-17) but the end of the set was amazing. Micheletto's service ace and Bednorz's mistake lead to a tie at 21-21. It was Bednorz who was the main actor at the end of the set. First, the attack and then two service aces gave the lead 24-21 and the spoilt attack of the guests gave KOZLE a 25-21 win and tiebreak.

    The last set was full of technical errors from the TRENTINO. Touching the net and crossing the three-meter line while attacking from the second line gave the European club champions a 4-0 lead. Although TRENTINO reduced the losses to 8-10, KOZLE finished phenomenally and won a tiebreak 15-10 and the whole match by 3-2.
