“This match is very important for us, because it’s decisive for the qualification to the next phase. We have to show a good performance and we have to win here in Cuneo, because the match in Belgorod will be very difficult and we’ll arrive there after a long journey” said Vladimir Nikolov before the game. Cuneo and Belgorod were little bit nervous at the beginning of meeting. But it was the Italian team who was few points ahead in first set till the end. Second and third set were under control of Italian champions. Main weapon of Cuneo during the whole match was serve.
Head coach of Roeselare D. Baeyens believed in his team before the game with Belchatow: “We have to play at our best. This means that we will have to repeat our performance against Hypo Tirol. And we will have to maintain that rhythm for the whole match.” Roeselare wasn´t favourite against Belchatow. But this night the fans of Roeselare will celebrate after 3:1 victory over Polish champions.
