Petrić's absence is big blow for Lorenzetti, Nikić is far from his best days and other sub doesnt exist.
Nikic' numbers in attack and reception were better today than Ngapeth's. If someone needed to be subbed then probably Ngapeth. I followed live stats and until mid of third set, Nikic was even in the seventies in attack.
Good services from Ankara and absence of Bruno/Lucas/Ngapeth magic killed Modena today. And of course the lack of a proper block/defence strategy.....
I forgot to ask - where was Wlazly?
I am answering my own question. "The biggest star of PGE Skra and the captain of the Polish team, MVP of the 2014 FIVB World Championship suffered muscle problems on Wednesday and could only watch his teammates from the bench." by CEV.
Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much! I am really planning on going to Poland this time 
I don't know 
On the official Resovia's page is that sales starts on 21st March (via internet) and I see that on this site prices are much higher than the official ones
I've been expecting fireworks in Ankara but in the end SKRA trashed Turkish side in first two sets. Mainly due incredibly poor tactics by Ziraat's coach Benitez. I couldn't believe my eyes after seeing their starting lineup with Venno, Rauwerdink and Gungor 
After sitting on the bench for whole season Venno was a starter in the monst important match in Ziraat's history Logical, Estonian is not in the best shape. Also Rauwerdink had tragic stats in same period. But what was even more surprising Benitez didn't react at all or his reactions was too late and they were torn apart. Captain Koc was furious, it was visible on his face, even once he suggested Benitez to call TO If I'm in charge in Ziraat Benitez would be sacked immeditely after this match. His failures in the most important match are hillarious, even amateur wouldn't do that.
SKRA just took what Benitez offered

I still don't know why Leonardo Leyva didn't play if he had been registered in time. But I guess he couldn't have made such a difference alone.
Probably lacking match pratice. Dunno for what they bought him 
Ziraat's starting line-up was tragic. 
Arkas already won the fourth set. Huge referee mistake ! They gave Lube the set Arkas had already won 
I thought that Alex and Nilson will be in the start line up, but the Turkish OH young was really good!

Home refereeing bears no contradiction to the official's etiquette :). Do agree things would have looked much more serious had this been the third not the fourth set.
Go Halkbank ! 
Disgusting commentary on Laola tv stream .Even Modena fans are more objective than this commentator .
Fully agree Yavor, so far quite modest match... As Anastasi admitted after yesterday's match quality difference between Zenit and Trefl is huge. We are talking about 1st team in Russia and 2nd or 3rd in Poland. OK, Tours won in Belgorod but Khamuttskikh fielded reserves after 3rd set. Same like Falasca in Ankara. Quality of matches are low, way under CL level we used to see in the past. Leon said clashes vs Trefl have been first relatively serious matches in CL. Zenit won both easily.
Kooy what arrogant attitude after bad set by Kiyak...

It's not bad, it's just completely biased. But it's fun to listen: the chap identifies only Travica, Le Roux and Sokolov from Halkbank correctly. The rest are being given random names. The Turkish opp is called "Batur" when he hits from two. As he is serving, he is "Kubiak" The Ref holds on, which is very good. It's becoming better and better now.
There hasn't been a decent match this week, too many bad performances and bench players, and we might struggle to find a whole interesting match from the first legs 2 weeks ago.
This is I guess why CEV cup is needed
