CL M: Raphael determined to go for yet another title

by WoV

Raphael Vieira de Oliveira will be chasing this coming weekend his third title in Europe’s elite competition, the CEV DenizBank Volleyball Champions League. The Brazilian-born setter of Halkbank was indeed a member of Italy’s TRENTINO Volley by the time this team won the trophy in 2010 and 2011 before settling for bronze in 2012.

Last summer Raphael – as he is known among all Volleyball fans – was transferred to Ankara alongside another three star players of TRENTINO VolleyMatey Kaziyski, Osmany Juantorena and Mitar Tzourits. Their goal now is to prolong their success story in the CEV Volleyball Champions League by claiming the first crown in this competition for a men’s team from Turkey.

“We have been working really hard in order to get ready for this tournament,” said the 34-year old native of Sao Joao del Rei. “I feel honored with being once again involved in one of the world’s most prestigious and greatest Volleyball events. Though I am not Turkish, I feel as proud and excited as the local members of our team. There is no doubt that we want to perform our best and win the cup.”
