Act four tonight (17:30) in this year’s finals series Women’s Volleyball League!
Panathinaikos and Olympiacos will face each other again, this time in Metz’s stadium, with the “green” looking for a victory to level the series and the “red and white” looking to make it 3-1 and be crowned champions in the headquarters of their biggest rival!
In high spirits, Mr Panathinaikoslast Saturday (20/4) showed an excellent game face and celebrated the victory with a 3-0 set (15-25, 22-25, 20-25) in “Melina Merkouri”, showing that he has a… pulse and staying alive in title claim.
His team Dragan Nesic she was commanding throughout the match and found herself behind only once (3-1 in the second set), eventually managing to take the all-important win against top seeds Samandan and Carcasses. Tonight he will compete with his back against the wall, looking for a second straight win to take the finals to a fifth and deciding game.
On the other hand, Mr Olympic missed out on a chance to end the streak at home and now needs to put its four-day poor performance behind it in order to get the win and… get the job done. The defeat in the third final was the first within the borders for the “red and white” since last November, “counting” since then 26 consecutive victories in the league and the Cup.
“We are ready to fight for our second chance to win the championship. The teams know each other very well. Therefore, we must push them to their limits. Every race is a new story and completely different, so we will do our best to bring the title our way.”said the coach of Olympiakos ahead of the fourth final, Lorenzo Micelli.
