They have one of the best and most experienced setters in the world and he has won at every level. This means we need to focus on our side of the net. We are making progress as a team and this is a great match up that will test us as a group."

Thomas Jaeschke
Outside hitter Halkbank ANKARA

"Wegiel is one of the biggest candidates to become a champion in Polish league. When looking at the team roster, there are many players competing in the international arena. As we progressed through the Champions League, we knew that the teams which we would meet would raise their level. Therefore, we are aware that we will play a tougher match against a tougher opponent. As I said before, it is almost impossible for European teams to win in front of the audience who came to Ankara."

Taner Atik
Head Coach Halkbank ANKARA

"Halkbank Ankara don't seem to have lost a single home game this season at their hall. This is a top team, made up of many great individuals. Nimir Abdel-Aziz, Micah Ma'a, Thomas Jaeschke, Nicolas Bruno, Yiğit Gülmezoğlu - these are players with great serves. So we have to be ready, patient, play smart and take our opportunities as they come. It's hard to make any comparisons because we're not familiar with the Turkish league, but we know Halkbank players, some of the best in the world.”

Benjamin Toniutti
Captain and setter JASTRZEBSKI Wegiel

"We remain calm, but there is also full focus and knowledge of what awaits us and what we are playing for. We are motivated, we want to win this match in Ankara, come back to our hall, do the same in the second match to be in the final, because last year we failed. So we have another chance and I think that we will all want to use it”.

Halkbank ANKARA v JASTRZEBSKI Wegiel

Article

The Semi-Final night of #CLVolleyM started off with the match between Halkbank ANKARA and JASTRZEBSKI Wegiel. JASTRZEBSKI reached this part of the competition for the fourth time and they have never progressed to the final. Now, they are in a good position to do so. With 1-3 on the board (22-25, 23-25, 25-16, 22-25) the team from Poland has a lead in the first match and next week they will be looking for a confirmed ticket to the #SuperFinalsTurin.

The first set started off as a cat-and-mouse type of play where it was played completely point by point. JASTRZEBSKI managed to separate just a bit (9-12), but with a few blocks and amazing defense, they managed to get the score up to 13-18. They kept their advantage and closed the first set by 22-25.

The second set started off very similar to the first one. It was played point-by-point but then Halkbank took the lead (9-6). Guests managed to get back up to the point-by-point play and eventually separated from the Ankara team. With 14-18, JASTRZEBSKI was looking for a way to close another set and they managed to do so by 23-25.

The next set showed a little bit of power loss in the JASTRZEBSKI ranks. The teams from Poland and Türkiye started the set as the previous two, with the point-by-point type of game. Halkbank began their game then and from 10-7 got to a 14-7 advantage. With four killer blocks and three aces, Halkbank was at top of their game in this set and they closed it by 25-16.

The last set was going in favor of JASTRZEBSKI the whole time since they were in the lead from the first up until the last point of the set. They closed it by 22-25 and with 1-3 in sets are one step closer to the #SuperFinalsTurin. The re-match will be held in Poland next Wednesday.

The most valuable player of the match was Tomasz Fornal with 18 points for the JASTRZEBSKI Wegiel.
