The 2012 CEV Champions League

I'm very disappointed of the way Villa play the end of second set, the first and the third!

The game: very bad one by Villa; they played very well the second and the third set, but they just couldn't finish them. I'm very disappointed at them; great match by Cannes's middle-blockers and by Antonjevic, all of them are world-class players, really at the top of their roles.
But, let me say this first: SHAME on the organization. Hall more than half empty (and if we consider that this hall has 6000 seats, which means it is not a very big one for a F4), awful time-outs management without being able most of the times to understand what was being said by the coaches. And come on, I couldn't stand watching the players covering their eyes with the hands because of the sun coming from some windows; that's something that shouldn't happen at a F4.

This arena has 8000 seats.

I totally agree with you ! CEV made a big big bad choice to announce the city that will organize
this F4 at the start of the C.L'
Is Azerbaijan a country of volleyball ? Sure not. Money create big teams (and high level),
but absolutly no interest for a sport. And for a women's sport, pfuhhh No way, azerri guys
The organisation can install 2 others enormous flags that would hide those many free seats !!!

So, red card for many things in this Final 4. Sad & disappointed

Quality difference between the games 1 and 2 can be clearly seen. Clever and fast movements makes the game fluent and that provides an enjoyable game. Number of fans are also highly more than that of the first game and they have a positive effect on the game.

Come on Fabiana, what is wrong with you? She hasn't showed her character yet.

Flat start for Fenerbahce. Just so many errors.

Kazan 1-0

Kazan is outclassing Fenerbahce 25-17

No fighting spirit, predictable setting....

Kazan, great serve, great block, great reception.....amazing set by the Russians

Larson Gamova wants this CL much Fenerbahce is far away from their real performances...

Larson played fantastic at the 1st set

Kazan-libero is outstanding !!!!

Is she in Russian roster for Ankara?

Now finally FB started to serve well! Also obviously Nihan is the worse libero in Final Four

Kazan's reception is remarkable well so far, that is the key-point so far

What a rally! Digs from Tom and Ulanova!

Fabiana plays a very disappointing match so far...

Aha, Ulanova is her name

She plays brilliantly so far

Fabiana is doing nothing...
