Steaua Bucharest-Olympiakos: Two sets and… he left for “civil war” in the semi-finals!

The “stamp” of qualification to his semi-finals Challenge Cup Olympiacos wants to play today (18:00, sport-fm.gr) in Bucharest against Steaua.

Alberto Giuliano’s team needs just two sets to complete the qualification as it has a 3-1 win in the first match at the indoor gym of Rentis “Melina Mercouri”. Of course, if the superiority of Piraeus is confirmed, then the meeting of the two “eternal” in the semi-finals of the institution will become official.

Olympiacos has so far eliminated Komarno from Slovakia and Burgas from Bulgaria in the course of the tournament, counting four wins and one loss, with a record 9-4 in the sets.

The coach of the “red and whites” Alberto Giuliani and the diagonal Tonsek Stern spoke about the crucial rematch with Steaua.

The Italian coach said on his departure for Romania:

“The best thing we have to do is to forget the first game and concentrate on the second one, because Steaua is a strong team, which especially at home plays very well, so we have to be concentrated, to win these two sets that we need. What I keep is our attack, because Steaua serves very strongly, especially there they will serve very strongly, so we need patience in our attack, so that technically we are as we should be, to find solutions to the opponent’s strong serve”.

In turn, the Slovenian diagonal reported:

“We come from a difficult period, when we played a lot of strong games. We won’t say we need two sets, we’ll say we have to win, from the first point to the last, so let’s play a good game, to win. As we saw in the first game, the opponent served very strongly, so we have to avoid direct points, hold our reception and then play with patience, correctly the high balls or the side out, in order to give solutions against the strong service they have”.
