Violet Duca also commented about the game will be played on Thursday, "Struggle against Bergamo is one of the most important matches in this pool. Dinamo Moscow game will also be tough too. Circumstances are alike for both teams. Many players of two teams have just returned from the World Championship at Japan. We played in final against them. This match is meaning a kind of revenge for us. We have a pretentious and tough team this year, so we believe we would beat the opponent. One of the most important reasons is the support of our fans. New hall is huge and capable to place lots of supporters. What we need is a sell out crowd. Match will start at 19.30 due to weekday. That’s why our supporters can easily reach for the game. Our supporters boost us. Player motivation is always increased by supporters. As a result, we may break the game of rival in an ambitious atmosphere. For having the revenge, we need our supporters as much as possible.”

Team captain Cigdem Can Rasna told that: "We will play against Bergamo that met us in Champions League final match last season. What we want is to have a nice start in European arena with a victory at home. None of the teams will be ready for this match because of the World Championship in which many players fought. Who wants to win more will get this match. Support of our fans is very important for us."

Istanbul, Turkey, November 24, 2010. Last year’s runner-up FenerbahceAcibadem ISTANBUL organized today a press conference specifically devoted to the 2011 CEV Champions League, some 24 hours before the re-match of this past April final game against Norda Foppapedretti BERGAMO.

Our goal is to reach the final of any competition we join”. He then added: “Our goal for tomorrow is to win. We have a very important match. We can consider BERGAMO a sort of copy of the Italian national team. The players who played in the last World Championship in Japan are all high-level players. We couldn’t have much time to practice after the World Championship. But we have to cope with this difficulty. We want to have a good start tomorrow. We must win this match in order to get to the next round”.
The captain, Cigdem Can Rasna re-asserted that Fenerbahce is going to have a very important game tomorrow and said: “Our aim is to get to the final like last year.

they know but such conversations to the press is more ethical

Fenerbahce Acibadem ISTANBUL of Turkey got tonight revenge from last year’s final game against Norda Foppapedretti BERGAMO even though the Italians were sidelined by the absence of their best players who just came back from the World Championship in Japan. The young girls around former junior European champion Marina Zambelli played with all their hearts, staying very close in the score for all three sets, but could not avoid the defeat from a much more experience Turkish squad.

Fenerbahce Acibadem ISTANBUL (TUR) vs. Norda Foppapedretti BERGAMO (ITA) 3:0 (26-24, 25-23, 25-18)

Fenerbahce Acibadem ISTANBUL got tonight the much wanted revenge from last year’s final game against the Italians of Norda Foppapedretti BERGAMO. A total of 4’000 fans resumed to the “Burhan Felek” sports hall where the Italians played with a very young team (average was 21 years) missing all their main stars who just got back from the World Championship in Japan. This junior team could not cope with the pressure of playing in front of so many Turkish fans and the hosts set the pace at both technical breaks (8:5 and 16:14) in the opening set. BERGAMO fought back for a close final rush but Russian star Sokolova closed the operations at 26-24 for the Turks.
Last year’s runner up was having some difficulty in reception due to the absence of Croatian spiker Natasa Osmokrovic, but Fenerbahce was nevertheless the dominant force also in the second set. The Italians did not surrender that quickly but after at all Turkey’s champion stamped the final 25-23. Nobody could imagine this kind of resistance from such an inexperienced team; in the third set BERGAMO fell a bit apart and Sokolova together with Erdem paved the way for the final 25-18. Romanian Roxana Iuliana Nucu was the top scorer of the game with 15 points. After the match, Fenerbahce Acibadem’s Brazilian coach Jose Roberto Guimaraes said: “We did not play good today. Our team could not synchronize block and defense properly. Some of the players have just joined the team and we must work harder. The main problem today was the fatigue of our most experienced players”. Team captain Cigdem Can Rasna commented: “They are young but they played pretty good today. We gathered late due to the FIVB World Championship and we need time. Our capacity is huge, but it is still too early to show it”. The new mentor of Norda Foppapedretti BERGAMO Davide Mazzanti declared: “Our experienced national players are so tired because of the World Championship, so they stayed at home. This young team gives us some hope for the future”. Captain and former junior European champion Marina Zambelli concluded: “Actually we were better in attack but Liubov Sokolova played very good today. We feel sorry for this defeat”.
