Jastrzębski Węgiel - Halkbank Ankara (full match)

Halkbank Ankara was too strong for Jastrzębski Węgiel. Michal Lasko was stopped by players from Ankara. He has just 28% efficiency in attack and 6 points. Halkbank advanced to the final of the Champions League 2013/14. Halkbank showed good reception and attack. Best player of match was Cuban player: Osmany Juantorena, who scored 15 points in that game. He finished 14 of 19 balls in attack. It was 74% efficiency in attack! Turkey’s Volleyball family had been waiting for this day to come since mid-December when it was announced that Halkbank would play host to the Final Four Tournament of this year’s Champions League. Last year Halkbank had already added another chapter to their glorious history by winning the CEV Cup but on that same day the management of the club started shaping their plans to achieve even more. Some months later they transferred some of the world’s best players in order to fulfil their dream of claiming the trophy of Europe’s most coveted Volleyball competition. "I think that we had prepared very accurately for this game and we had carefully analysed our opponent, taking our lesson from the defeat we had suffered in the group stage", said Halkbank team captain Matey Kaziyski. "Our plans worked just fine, we especially pressured them a lot with our serves and this way we could prevent them from playing their fast game and from using their excellent first tempo. I would like to thank all those who came here this afternoon to cheer on us and hope that even more will be attending the final match on Sunday".
