  • To play in the Russian League means to improve skills.

    Ukraine's Lokomotiv Kharkiv beat away Galatasaray in tie break 22-20. To beat turkish Team at home.. and Team with Stars..

  • AZS Częstochowa beated Unicaja Almeria on their own ground in a golden set! :thumbsup: Good day for both of my fav teams today.
    So now GO POLITECHNIKA! :super:

  • WOW. AZS Politechnika Warszawska made it too! They beated Dinamo Krasnodar 3:1 (18:25, 25:18, 25:15, 29:27) and won 15:8 in a golden set. I'm even more proud of them than I'm proud of guys from Częstochowa ^^ Great thing after all these losses of polish teams in Champions League this week.
    I've read that the match was really exciting and though Politechnika lost first match in Krasnodar and started today's game badly losing first set, they still - like a phoenix from the ashes - didn't give up (even losing with four points to the rival in the second set) and they managed to win the match. It's a pity that it wasn't broadcast. I'm curious about the duel Steuerwald - Tischer :D I heard that the best action of the match was single block by Patrick. Good job, Nano :thumbsup:
    Radek Panas is a master, for sure. He's doing great job with these guys.

  • versus Fenerbahce Akchrem got injury. Maybe He will play against Renne but probably not.

  • Warszawa-Krasnodar:


    Both teams had two clear leaders in the attack, presenting a similar form. After the "Polish" the palm side of the net wielded Greg Szymanski. Warsaw attackers enjoyed great trust Partick Steuerwalda - went to him 40 balls, 19 of which turned into points, thus achieving 48% efficiency. "Russian" party is a Roman Yakovlev and his achievements including 18 "mesh" (from 38 attempts) and the efficiency of 47%. in the band from Warsaw very well in the attack had done a duet wing Krzysztof Wierzbowski and Wojciech Żaliński who gathered 6 points, respectively (27% efficiency) and 9 points ( 39%). Fortunately, "engineers" could count on his center. At the police station was Marcin Nowak, who ended the meeting with the trophy 11 points and 61% efficiency. Bravely supported him, entered the game in the second batch, Ardo Kreek (9 "mesh", 60% efficiency). In the Russian team and clearly indicated a lack of support in attack - Elvis Contreras. Replacing it Nikolay Leonienko not fared best - attack of efficiency of 32%, yielding seven points on 32 attempts. much more stable form - but without the flash - Stanislaw presented Jeremin, winning the 12 "mesh" with the effectiveness of 44%. Russian agent in the attack virtually non-existent. Warsaw scout asked to assess the game of Russian team in the first row lists the instruction was weaker in the attack. - The first meeting of the Krasnodar team played much better in the attack. Clearly dominated over us in this element. Much better to serve a function, which sprawili us much trouble. We should also add that in the first game played Contreras, who is a very strong point of the Dynamo, and it was he and Yakovlev wrote down very well in the attack. Especially Yakovlev gave us the most trouble. In the second match they had a problem with taking our licks. Less is also presented in the attack and made many mistakes. It was evident that the game is based in large part to the attacker, the more the less presented to the other wing of Russian team. Helped by the fact that very few games were conducted Dynamo measure. That thing that clearly dominating with both meetings. Krasnodar attack power has been focused on mainly on the wings, which was a help in the game for us. But it was not an easy opponent - said Piotr Matela. Statistics show that the ability to predict the actions of Simon Tischer significantly contributed to enhancing the contribution of AD University in the element block compared to the first meeting. Capital team 15 times stopped the attack rivals, and the grid reigned Kreek (6 points) with Wierzbowskim (4 points). The Russian team has recorded 10 successful blocks. You can not distinguish the leader - after two stitches to his credit wrote: Jeremin, Yakovlev, Tischer and Leonid Kuznetsov.


    Among the elements that have made Radoslaw Panas ward pass to continue the fight on European dance floors, one can not ignore the licks. AD Scout University has repeatedly emphasized that a much better attitude in the team licks significantly contributed to the favorable outcome. - It's hard to say with certainty that the item was the best, because looking at the statistics in each element really went off very well. But I think that the best attack and serve function of the block, because these two elements interact with each other. In this element of crafts Polish volleyball team scored seven times, and most blood rivals' napsuli "Maciej Zajder (3 points) and Chris Wierzbowski (2 points). Dynamo five volleyball players show a service ace. Best Jeremin proved that the achievements of his team wrote three "eyes."


    Compared with the first confrontation between the two teams received lower scores on admission. AD University volleyball players took 87 plays, wrong about 8 times, which contributed to the adoption of a positive 55%, of which only 10% was the perfect pick. Like the first meeting, the Russians were mercilessly against Wierzbowski, in which "fell" 42 licks. Warsaw has been receiving 62-percent acceptance score of 14% and for receiving the item. Adoption volleyball players from Krasnodar stood at 47%, with which 21% is the perfect adoption. In the first meeting of the most "fired" was Contreras, on the other "dating" was set as his deputy, or the Leonienko. The receiving Dynamo accepted at 52% (32% acceptance perfect).

  • The coaches of Tomis Constanca Martin Stoev and Viktor Karagiozov and the libero of the team Vladislav Ivanov had left the team after they havent been paid since October 2011 and the club hadn't clearly confirm when they will be paid. So after 15-20 victories in a row now Tomis lost their chance to win the Challenge cup or something in romania. Very sad for them, indeed. However, good luck to all the other teams in this european competition

    According to Tomis president they didn't get only last salary (for January) and they had a clause in the contract by which they could leave the club if their salary is delayed more than 90 days.

  • If someone is interested here is link for AZS Politechnika Warszawska - Lokomotiv Kharkiv live: http://www.plusligatv.pl/videoLive2,vfId,3.html


    I'm less optimistic about Politechnika winning than I was a week ago 'cause Steuerwald is out and as I can see now Szymański is out as well. He is sitting and talking with Wanio. Gosh. Mikołajczak is so unstable. This team has a huge bad luck.
    But I hear "Thunderstruck" in the hall
    :D

  • Unfortunately, for me this livestream is already dead but I see live results and guys are still fighting. Gorzkiewicz, blah :cursing: I want Patrick to play so badly... Ardo and Mikołaj-Chuck are playing pretty good today and I would say the same about Wierzbowski & Żaliński if they received better. If not Wojtaszek the Ukrainians would smashed us by serves.


    Częstochowa won :thumbsup:
