“Our opponents played a very solid game at their home so we have to expect another tough match here” says Fenerbahce mentor Zé Roberto. “They have strong spikers as well as a talented setter. They played 100% for every single rally and they will be going for a win here. To avoid the risk of a golden set we will have to play as we did last week. The golden set is a kind of lottery and I do not want to go for it. We have no injuries to nurse at the moment and I trust my players because they know pretty well how to deal in such circumstances where there is much at stake. Last week we had some great fans in attendance in the Czech Republic and hope that will be the case also on Thursday here in Istanbul” he concludes.
“We scored a great away win last week and we want to repeat that also in front of our fans. We are all ready and hope to play in front of a full house” adds team captain Seda Tokatlioglu.
