ACH Volley look forward to re-match with Omonia in front of home crowd
2017 CEV Volleyball Champions League - Men
Ljubljana, Slovenia, November 5, 2016. Slovenian champions ACH Volley LJUBLJANA can barely wait for the home match against Omonia NICOSIA on schedule for the second round of the 2017 CEV Volleyball Champions League – Men knowing they can rely on the advantage resulting from the compelling 3-0 victory they claimed on Wednesday away from home.
By seizing the night in Nicosia and doing it in style, the ‘Orange Dragons’ made a huge step forward in their effort to continue their journey in Europe’s elite competition. Their victory was never in question despite the injury of libero Jani Kovačič, who will hopefully be ready to help his team on Sunday. Omonia got the closest in the second set but at the end the solid block of ACH Volley was too big an obstacle for the Cypriots. The Slovenian team was better in all aspects of the game except at serving, but they still have some room for improvement.
“It will be difficult for the visiting team to surprise us. However, we will prepare to deliver an even better performance than we did in the first match. The only thing we think about is a 3-0 victory,” said head coach Zoran Kedačič. Team captain Andrej Flajs agreed that the team is much focussed on Sunday’s match. “We are well prepared. It will be important to serve well and be dominant at blocking, as we did in Cyprus. I hope for strong support from the home crowd.”
The winners of this double header will be playing France’s Arago de SETE in the next round.
