Finikas Syros lost 0-3 sets from the infamous Leuven in their first match for the “32” of the CEV Cup men’s volleyball and now has to climb a “mountain” next week at “Dimitris Vikelas” to qualify.
The “pirates” want a victory with 3-0 or 3-1 sets in the replay, in order to claim the qualification in the “golden” set. Otherwise, Fulvio Bertini’s team will be excluded.
The Belgians put a lot of emphasis on defense, while the easy shots given by the islanders to the opposing team and their mistakes did not allow them to claim a positive result.
