ONLY DINAMO MOSCOW AND SISLEY TREVISO BOOK SECOND WIN
Men's Indesit European Champions' League 2005/06
Luxembourg, October 28, 2005. Only two teams participating in the men’s Indesit European Champions’ League succeeded to take a second consecutive victory after the second leg of the highest valued European club competition. In Pool B, Russian Dinamo MOSCOW booked their second win by overthrowing novice volleyball.cz KLADNO from the Czech Republic (3:0), whilst Italian Sisley TREVISO decided the five set thriller against French AS CANNES in their favour.
Dinamo MOSCOW proved to be amongst the main
contenders for a place on the Final Four podium in March during the
second leg of the men’s Indesit European Champions’ League. Showing no
mercy facing the Czech champion volleyball.cz KLADNO, the Russian
formation took the match in three straight sets. Thanks to their second
straight victory, Dinamo MOSCOW now lead Pool B.Best player of the match was Russian national team player Semen Poltavsky with 14 points.
Still waiting to be crowned as an Indesit European Champions’ League
titleholder, Italian Sisley TREVISO struggled through their two Pool C
matches. After having overcome German evivo DÜREN last week, the
Italian star team also needed five sets against French champion AS
CANNES. The 3’000 French spectators couldn’t prevent the Italians from
serving more powerful than their opponents, seizing the tiebreak 15-12.
Sisley TREVISO spiker Alessandro Fei was the best scorer with 19
points. On the French side, Marek Novotny and Christophe Meneau both
booked 16 points.
“It was a difficult match”, stated Sisley TREVISO coach Daniele Bagnoli
said, “This win was very important given that AS CANNES is a very tough
opponent.”
“Sisley TREVISO won due to their experience”, AS CANNES coach Laurent Tillie stated.
Making their debut in the Indesit European Champions’ League last year Hypo Tirol INNSBRUCK, the newly crowned Austrian Champion, lost all of their eight matches. This year, Hypo Tirol INNSBRUCK were finally able to celebrate victory when the Austrian team defeated Dutch rookie Ortec ROTTERDAM Nesselande 3:2 in Pool A. The Dutch formation hoped to win in Innsbruck in order to have a chance of reaching the next round, but Hypo Tirol INNSBRUCK made an end to the Dutch dreams. Defending a match point against them in the fifth set, the Austrians managed to claim the tiebreak 17-15.
After this week’s action Dinamo MOSCOW and Sisley TREVISO are the
only two teams with two victories on their account. Six other teams
also remain undefeated, but have yet to play their second match. Polish
BOT Skra BELCHATOW, one of the six undefeated teams, was responsible
for a major upset in Pool D, defeating two times Indesit European
Champions’ League champion Lokomotiv BELGOROD from Russia.
In Pool A, Belgian Knack Randstad ROESELARE and Greek Iraklis
THESSALONIKI both won their only match played so far, same as French
defending champion TOURS VB and Greek Olympiacos PIRAEUS in Pool B. In
Pool C, Belgian Noliko MAASEIK remain undefeated.
Action in the men’s Indesit European Champions’ League continues on Tuesday with the highlight of the week between TOURS VB and Dinamo MOSCOW.
