Imoco
It is expected that more than 9,000 spectators greet Imoco Volley Conegliano and Igor Gorgonzola Novara whet they step out on the court of Berlin’s Max-Schmeling-Halle to cross their spears in the 2019 CEV Volleyball Champions League – Women Super Finals, vying for the unprecedented money prize in the history of the best club competition in Europe. This will be the first gold medal match under the new Champions League format that said goodbye to Final Four and welcomed a two-game knockout stage all the way to the finals that will be held on the same day for both Men’s and Women’s teams.
„We’ve had a great season so far, reaching the finals of all the competitions and winning a fantastic championship. But the story has yet to end and we want to write the most beautiful chapter in the final of the most important competition. It will be great to play this final in a packed hall. We’re proud to participate in this great event and we know that we’ll be able to count on many of our fans that will be an extra value and a boost for us in Berlin. We’re facing a great team, we know each other very well and it will be another chapter of this endless challenge between us and Novara, a tense match that we’ll try, with every means, to win. We know it will be very tough, but we go to Berlin to give another great satisfaction to the club and to our fans,“ Imoco head coach Daniele Santarelli said.
Novara
“We don’t have much time to change our way of playing since the national championship finals, but for sure we can do better. We know that we can change two or three things and we will try to do that,” Novara head coach Massimo Barbolini stated.”
The encounter between Imoco and Novara will be the third all-Italian Women’s Champions League final after 2001 and 2005 as both teams seek their first-ever title in the tournament. These two have already met three times in some final this season: Imoco prevailed in the Italian Super Cup by a 3-1, Novara took revenge on them in the national Cup by a 3-2, while Imoco swept the championship final with Novara series by a 3-0.
