The Italian Giri Kovar of Panathinaikos is the MVP of the 6th game of the Volley League. The 33-year-old winger of the “trefoil” made a great appearance in the winning derby against Olympiakos with 3-2 sets, scoring 17 points.
Among other things, he had 12 out of 25 attacks, that is, a rate of 48%. He also had 3 points from blocks and in fact at decisive points of the 4th and 5th set. He also scored with 2 aces while recording a 50% reception percentage.
Jiri Kovar said of his award:
“I don’t consider the individual MVP title as important as the team winning every game. Our aim is to keep the positives and try to improve on the negative areas. We are very happy to win this big match. We have to continue and prepare for the next difficult games ahead of us.
With Olympiakos it was a big game. We were close in the 1st set. In the 2nd set we were up 24-22 and should have won it to tie, but unfortunately we lost it badly. Despite the 0-2 we continued to fight the match. We knew we could turn the game around and win.
We showed that in the first two sets. We continued to play with all our strength, we did not stop and in the end the result was positive. The atmosphere was fantastic. A big part of our victory also belongs to our fans. Even when we were losing 0-2 sets, they didn’t stop supporting us even for a minute. I want to express a big thank you to our fans and hope to see them again soon.”
