Last night, the Belgian Noliko Maaseik threw Polish titleholders Zaksa Kędzierzyn-Koźle on their knees. This outcome came as a surprise but the hero on the winning side, Jolan Cox, explained what took him and his teammates to defeat such big rivals.
“Fighting, fighting, fighting, that was the recipe for this win. If you can keep up with a team like Zaksa, chances will come. And we took them. If we can keep up this level, everything is possible in the two games to come,” the opposite said.
“Yes, we are a little surprised by the level Maaseik showed today. Especially in defense and on the high attacks, they showed a higher level than we expected. And maybe, after two defeats, we were mentally not at our best since we are not really used to lose a lot,” Sam Deroo, the outside hitter of Zaksa, stated.
