Olympiacos wants to advance to the semi-finals of the men’s CEV Cup volleyball and, to do so, it will have to defend the 3-2 set in Rentis last week in Smyrna against Arkas at 18:00.
In order for Olympiacos to qualify directly to the top four of the second tier of the European interclub competition, they need a win even with 3-2 sets. In case of his defeat with the same score, the qualification to the semi-finals will be decided on the “golden” set of 15 points. With any other result, the Turkish team advances.
Olympiacos completed its preparation for this match on Tuesday with an afternoon training session at the “Ataturk Voleybol Salonu” where the match will be held.
Daniel Castellani said: “Very important match, we are very motivated for this game. We know it won’t be easy. In the previous match we played very well, we served well, we were good in block-defense. We are ready, we want to continue our European journey”.
Salvador Hidalgo added: “Tomorrow, it will be a great match, we are in a beautiful stadium, where there will be many fans, but we are only looking at our work, we have trained very hard. We can’t wait, we have to be focused on the game, we worked extremely well this week. We want a good result, I wish you luck.”
