Branko Kovacevic emphasized that he was satisfied with the first set, he believes that in the remaining sets Olympiakos’ service was not so good and mistakes were made, but he counts the result and expressed his respect for the Belgian school, asking them to go step by step in the replay.
In detail: “We took the first step with a clean win, which is very important. Either 3-0 or 3-1, the result counts the same. I am very satisfied especially with the way we played on serve and defense, that part of the game was really good in the first set. Then our serve wasn’t as consistent, we made a few mistakes and the results were closer, but okay, in the end we got what we wanted.
This win gives us a very good lead before the second leg in Belgium. Nevertheless, I have a lot of respect for the Belgian volleyball school, we know that there the match will be difficult, but step by step we have to play the replay and qualify for the next round.”
Melina Emmanouilidou emphasized that: “Sure, we took the first and most important step in our headquarters. We won with a clear victory, which is very important in these kinds of games. We came in focused, with a clear goal of victory, and that showed in the taraflex.
It goes without saying that this was the reason we are here: To chase every victory. It is a historic event for the club, for the athletes and for all of us and we want it very much.”
