Belgium – team
That was the best head coach Gert Vande Broek could ask for as the team starts preparing for the final four scheduled for next weekend in Varna, Bulgaria. Belgium controlled the game right from the start (4:1; 6:2) and after moving up 16:10 easily cashed the opening set with the terrific score of 21-12.
Serbia responded well in the second keeping the score tight up to 12 all before Belgium changed gear taking the lead at 18:16 and then cruised to the final 21-16.
Serbia caught their opponents by surprise in the early phases of the third set going up 3:0 and 4:1 but Belgium could even the score at 16 all. The Pool leaders got the lead for the very first time at 19:18 and then did score the two next points to finish the game in straight sets.
“We are very happy for this was our best match here in Israel and the perfect boost of confidence we needed before the final four” Vande Broek commented.
“This weekend my team looked exhausted but in general I am happy with what we did in this edition of the European League” said Serbia’s mentor Aleksandar Vladisavljev.
