“I have no doubt that the competition will receive due importance and permanently inscribed in our sport. Cup champion and winner of the country will fight for a valuable trophy” – said the Polish coach Władysław Palaszewski.
Wladyslaw Palaszewski remembers the days when the league matches came after 200-300 spectators.“We played in a small hall, often people stood leaning against the wall. Clubs were not really want to fight for the trophy, focused on the league. Today’s audience hall with a few thousand people are the best proof of how much has changed in the Polish volleyball.

Zenit Kazan defeated last year Novosibirsk Lokomotiv 3:0 (25:23, 29:27, 25:21) and reached the Super Russia. Great match for Zenit played Maxim Mikhailov, who scored 28 points. The coach Vladimir Alekno treated this as a good predictor of success before the season 2011/12, in which the team won, among others Champions League.
