BR Volleys
By beating Polish runners-up Resovia Rzeszów 3-2 (25-20, 25-22, 21-25, 20-25, 15-13) in Round 5, German title holders increased distance in Pool B comparing to second placed Lube Civitanova from Italy and secured first or second place before the Playoffs. BR Volleys nearly blew a 2-0 lead in sets and had to resolve the match in the tie-break, just like in the first encounter between these two teams, in December. But this time, Bundesliga team turned fifth set into their favor, mostly thanks to committing twice less errors in relation to the opponents. BR Volleys had 19 while Resovia had 38! Thus, there is an incredible data – the most efficient player of BR Volleys had „only“ 14 points. It was Robert Kromm. In Resovia, American Thomas Jaeschke and Serbian Marko Ivović scored 24 each.
Despite the fact they sealed top spot in Pool A in previous round, Polish champions Zaksa Kędzierzyn-Koźle wanted to keep perfect record in the tournament. Therefore, their coach, Italian Ferdinando De Giorgi, did not spare his players and introduced a primary line-up against Belgian Noliko Maaseik. These guys put first two sets on their shoulders before giving way to substitutes in the third set, 3-0 (25-23, 25-19, 25-21). Mateusz Bieniek highlighted Zaksa with 12 points. The 20-year-old Luxembourgian Kamil Rychlicki had 15 in Maaseik.
